The pack was designed to inform discussions with the North Wales Children’s Regional Partnership Board about working together to improve the support available across the region. It was first published in March 2023.
Definitions and population needs assessment summary
A person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment, and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
– Equality Act 2010
A physical or mental impairment includes physical disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health conditions, medical conditions, and hidden impairments such as learning difficulties, autism, and speech, language, and communication impairments. Substantial is defined as being more than minor or trivial; long-term is defined as being a year or more.
The definition is broad and because of this we have focussed on respite care for children and young people with a disability or illness. Respite care was also one of the priorities identified in the Population Needs Assessment.
