Local Offer

A Local Offer is a resource provided by local authorities to inform families about the support, services, and facilities available for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). It details what help can be accessed, how to request services, and how to participate in decisions. The aim is to promote transparency and ensure families understand their options, enabling better planning and access to appropriate support within their community. It’s a way for local areas to communicate their available resources clearly to those who need them.
