hi/ question
i wonder have you got a list of services, facilities for the county that i can access?
is any active collation of data being undertaken?
thx
looked at the help 4 u site (http://help4me.info/)- and i will include that as a link - in the site under the area - county wide facilities
but we we are looking for what specific facilities exist in-county? for example what residential facilities are available for disabled and profoundly disabled children in-county -- their capacity and any restrictive caveats? similiarly - transition, special schools etc
can you please point me in the right direction
thx

thx
received doc (info copied above)
yes the criteria here is important -- from age 8 and i believe that ulverston can't deal with profoundly or physically disabled children - can you confirm this? -- also huntley avenue penrith - is that similiar? over 8 - and can they accommodate severe cases. are there any website links for these respite facilities?
i assume that none of the special schools are residential - is that correct?
thx - also please tell me of anyone else i should be quizzing over this -- sry to take your time
with thx

----I'm sorry I can't answer any of your questions about the Residential
respite centres your best bet would be either to speak to them or the
Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Teams themselves. I don't believe
there are any website links I think this is probably due to the fact
they are only referral places.
None of the schools are residential - however there is whinfell care
and Lindeth college which are residential both of these have websites
Is this information just for yourself?
---------------------------------------------------------
many thx....
this info is for the "what facilities exist in-county" board on the cumbria learning to change website
so it can be added to, amended, corrected as necessary
cheers

Ahh I see no worries I had it in my head that website was just for the
Aiming High information

hi
yeah ---one of the main requests i have heard at both conferences and local meets was "what is actually already available ?"
correct me if necessary, but isn't aiming high primarily about short breaks? see here .. page 1
