Hi, can anyone help with some advice about taking our adult son on holiday and whether there is an allowance of some sort? Our son is in full time adult 1:1 (plus night) care and he would like to go on holiday somewhere warm, by the sea. Does the council have an allowance we can apply for? He would need 2 of us so we could do tag, as he is quite challenging. Any help would be great - he does not have a social worker at the moment, as his last one left Bristol Council and they haven't assigned him another (this was 1 1/2 years ago…), so nobody here to ask.

    You would have to ask your local council about a grant.

    You could also search the Turn2us grant finder:

    Otherwise, is a holiday something you could save up for over time? It might not be practical to take him abroad and fly etc, so a UK seaside holiday in the summer (booked at short notice based on the weather) could be the best option.
