Rest bite care

ema84

Hi 
I was just wandering if anyone knew anything about private rest bite care I have a 7 yr old with severe developmental delay and other health issues I’m there sole carer but my husband and I don’t have a support network which gives us any childcare so we don’t get any time together and didn’t know if there was private care we could pay for on the odd occasion so we can just go out for dinner maybe I feel guilty just asking thank you for any help. Sorry I’m new on here.

If you have a child with special needs you can get a carer's assessment.
You have a right to respite care for your child.
Do contact your local social services. They will arrange this.

Welcome to the community from me too @ema84 Along with the above advice, I just wanted to point you towards Scope's page on finding respite care. 

As the others have said, there's absolutely no need to feel guilty.
