Skye Respite Service

Skye Respite Service is a children and young people's care service located in Portree, in the Highland council area. Operated by Highland Council, the service provides short-term respite care for children and young people in the local community. At its most recent Care Inspectorate inspection in February 2023, the service received an average grade of Adequate, which corresponds to a 3 out of 6 on Scotland's care grading scale.

The service offers general care provision, supporting children and young people who may benefit from planned breaks and short-term care arrangements. As a respite service, it plays an important role in providing relief for families while ensuring that young people receive attentive, appropriate care during their stay.

Based on the Isle of Skye, the service is well positioned to support families across this part of the Highlands, offering a locally accessible option for those seeking respite care for children and young people in the region.
