A SERIES of consultation meetings are set to take place as part of an independent charity’s review of Short Break Services in Dumfries and Galloway.

Action for Children have announced seven consultation sessions to take place next month as they carry out work to develop options for the service in the region.

The charity have been commissioned by Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board, whose chairman Andy Ferguson said: “After receiving an Independent Review Report on Short Break Services from Action for Children, the Integration Joint Board commissioned the charity to progress with the next stage and carry out an options appraisal.

“The IJB is happy to help promote Action for Children’s call for as many families, carers and professionals as possible to attend these very important events which are intended to ensure that a full range of views and ideas are collated.”
