2. Who are the children needing Link

Here are some examples:

Rebecca is a six year old, who likes listening to music and playing. She needs other people to help her move around, wash and eat. Rebecca stays with her Link family for a weekend every month, which allows her parents and older brother to spend time together.

Jack, aged 14, enjoys ten pin bowling and computer games. He is on the autistic spectrum and needs help with his social skills. His Link carer takes him bowling at the local leisure centre once a week.
