Barnardos

Barnardos is a charity that supports disabled children and their families. Our services also enable parents and carers to take a regular break from their caring responsibilities.

We offer several specialist services:

• short breaks for disabled children and young people in their own home, including overnight stays
• home support workers to support disabled children and their siblings in their own home or in the local community
• contract carers, for children and young people on the autistic spectrum or with challenging behaviour
• full time or shared care placements for disabled children and young people who are unable to live with their birth family
• specialist training and support available to carers.

How to get support from us

You need to have had a social care assessment from Brighton & Hove City Council. If the social care team agrees you are in need of our services, they will refer you to us. Please note, there is a significant waiting list for our services.
