- Children and young people who are on SBAP waiting lists (assessed as eligible for a Short Break Activity);
- Children and young people who have accessed a SBAP within the last 6 months;
- Children and young people aged between 5 and 17 who are diagnosed with an autistic spectrum condition with an allocated Social Worker from KCC Children’s Social Care Team and are struggling with the lockdown;
- Disabled Children and young people, including those with an autistic spectrum condition, aged between 5 and 17 who are currently in a Foster Placement and are struggling with the lockdown.
