Take a Break is a service for families with a child or young person with learning disabilities to provide short breaks in the family home, an extra pair of hands for a family outing, or to take a child out on their own.

Take a Break is open to families who live in the London Borough of Barnet with a child or young person aged 0-19 with Autistic Spectrum conditions, those with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge or those that have complex health needs, or who receive DLA care at the middle rate or higher. Some of these young people may have additional disabilities and health needs, but this is not a nursing service.
