About

The Department of Health awarded a contract to The Children's Society for improving transition assessments and support for young adult carers to make positive transitions.

The project aimed to improve variation in practice around respite care and carers breaks across England by sharing best practice, increasing availability and choice of quality services, and supporting carers to use personal budgets for breaks and respite.

It also sought to increase transparency so carers know what they are entitled to and ensure greater consistency in what is available.

The contract value was £70,000.
