Children & Young People Services

Cornerstone operates a number of children and young people services across Scotland.

Star Carers

Star Carers is Cornerstone's respite care service for children with disabilities and other support needs. The service cares for children of all ages in their home or out in the community. Star Carers supports children and families in a number of ways, whether helping parents at busy periods in the day such as meal times, school runs and bedtime or enabling children to participate in a variety of leisure and social activities in the community.

Many of the children we support have learning and/or physical disabilities such as autism, epilepsy or challenging behaviour and we develop individual care and support plans for each child.

Holiday Play Scheme

Cornerstone runs several play schemes each year during the school holidays. Our play schemes offer the children we support the opportunity to socialise and enjoy fun seasonal activities and outings. Our dedicated staff encourage children to interact with each other, developing their communication and social skills, while providing parents with the chance to spend time with other family members in the knowledge that their child is being looked after by a qualified carer.

More information on our other services for children and young people, such as our Saturday Club's and transitions services will be available shortly.  In the meantime please call 01224 256000 to find out more.
