Domiciliary care for children and young people with disabilities

Domiciliary care supports people in their own home.

We provide domiciliary care for children and young people with disabilities up to the age of 18.

This service includes:

  • personal care
  • assisting parents and carers with tasks such as administering medicine
  • short breaks to give parents a rest from caring, and provide children with an opportunity to develop independence, learn new skills and make friends

To get domiciliary care, your child's social worker must first complete a child and family assessment.

This assessment helps us to work out if your child is eligible for domiciliary care, and what level of care is required.

If your child is eligible for domiciliary care, we will find a suitable care provider for you.

All our providers are registered with the Care Quality Commission to supply care services for children, and have a valid DBS check and references.
