SEND Local Offer explained

What the SEND Local Offer is, how it can help children , young people and their families.

The Local Offer is for children and young people aged up to 25 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families.

It helps parents, carers, and young people understand what they can expect from local services and how to access them.

You can use the Local Offer to:

  • find out what to do if you're new to SEND
  • find out what to do if your child or a young person needs more support
  • get advice and support for young people to prepare them for adulthood
