Support and Activities

We appreciate how difficult it can be to find sources of advice, support and recommendations. With this in mind, we have created this resource page.  It is a collection of websites and pages that have been recommended by the family and friends of Fountaindale School.  We thank the contributors so far and hope that it can be useful to others.  Please let us know if there are things that you would like to add. 

Sharing is caring!

Short Breaks

Short Breaks is a service provided by the LA that supports families but only after they have been approved through the application process.

The services listed in the directory below are available to those families whose disabled children and young people are eligible for a short break service. This may have been through completing a short break application online at http://www.nottinghamshire.sendlocaloffer.org.uk or through an assessment carried out by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Children’s Disability Service or Short Break Assessment and Review Team.
