Barnardo’s Caern provides a short break service for children and young people who have been diagnosed with a Learning Disability, ASD and complex needs.
The project is situated on the outskirts of the City of Edinburgh and provides a safe and homely environment to encourage the young people to meet their full potential.

We work closely alongside families/carers and other lead professionals such as CAMHS, health care and schools to create support plans that reflect the individual needs of the young people using the service.
We can help with:

Specialist care for children with learning and other disabilities, including overnight and short-break care.
