What is the SEND Local Offer?

We must publish a SEND Local Offer.  We must set out in one place information about provision that is available, and expected provision, across:

• Education
• Health
• Social care

for children and young people who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

The SEND Local Offer has two main purposes:

• To provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about available provision and how to access it
• To make provision responsive to local needs and aspirations. We do this by directly involving children and young people with SEND, their parents, and the professionals who work with them, in the development and review of the SEND Local Offer

How can I feedback on the Local Offer?

We always want to receive feedback from families, young people and professionals:

• On the services in our Local Offer
• On what services are missing
