Background

ISBA exists to provide the opportunity to acquire knowledge and experience of Short Break provision, across national and cultural boundaries with the aim of securing the home life of families and individuals ensuring the integrity of the family unit.

Our Objectives:

• To establish a think-tank in the form of a biennial conference that contributes to a common understanding of the development of good short break/respite care for disabled people and their families.
• ISBA develops a platform for the exchange of knowledge, courses of action and working practices within short break care/respite, across care provider lines.
• We provide a chance to learn, to talk with people from around the globe and hear about best practices in supporting families who are caring for individuals with disabilities, or on-going disabling conditions or impairments.
