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).

You can view our whole SEND Local Offer at www.norfolk.gov.uk/send

If you have trouble accessing information online, you could get help at your local library. Alternatively, contact us at send@norfolk.gov.uk, telling us the information you would like, along with your name and postal address.

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
