Respite care for children
Children's residential care provides care for children and young
people in residential homes. Staff in children's residential care
work closely with children and young people, birth parents and
other family members, shared carers, foster carers and other
agencies to enable young people’s integration into communities,
families and independent living.
Cumbria County Council's services offer care for children and
young people in a range of settings including:
- respite care in residential homes;
- short term (up to 6 month) and longer terms in residential
homes; and
- shared care;
- foster care; and
- adoption.
