	Short breaks implementation guidance&lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	The short breaks implementation guidance&amp;nbsp;for PCTs and LAs, available to download from this page,&amp;nbsp;informs the transformation of short break provision over the next three years and should be read in conjunction with other AHDC resources. PCTs should also consider this guidance in shaping their response to the 2008-09 NHS operating framework priorities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	For more information,&amp;nbsp;read the &lt;a target="_blank" href="//media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/doc/s/short breaks implementation guidance letter.doc"&gt;cover letter&lt;/a&gt; regarding associated funding announcements.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.togetherfdc.org/default.aspx"&gt;Together for Disabled Children&lt;/a&gt;, a coalition between Serco and Contact a Family, will support LAs and PCTs in their provision of short breaks for families with disabled children.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
