These case studies based on real examples of short break provision are provided to challenge some commonly held views and beliefs as to what is possible, achievable and desirable in relation to respite / short break provision. 
In order to maintain anonymity no names were sought in the collection of this information, where names have been used these have been chosen at random by the author and should not be regarded as bearing any resemblance coincidentally or otherwise to an identified individual. In all other respects the examples portrayed are to the best of our knowledge accurate and factually correct.
Further examples can be found at the Community Care Works (online database of good practice) website. Note - this is a subscription based service.
If you have any examples of good practice we'd be very pleased to hear from you.
