What does the local offer cover?

The local offer will include information about health and social care services, education, leisure activities and support groups in the area for children and young people aged 0 – 25 with SEND and their families.

There will be information about:

• Services and support available
• How children and young people’s needs are identified and assessed
• The way schools, colleges and maintained nurseries support children and young people with SEND
• How to access services and how decisions are made
• Preparation for adulthood and independence
• Arrangements for making a complaint and mediation
• How to comment on the local offer

The Department for Education’s draft SEN Code of Practice and regulations outlines the range of information to be included in the local offer.

Why is the local offer important?

The local offer will help parents, carers and young people to see clearly the range of services and support that are available in their local area and understand how to access them.
