A local offer gives children and young people, aged 0-25, with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families information to help them find the right help and support in their area.
Its two main purposes are to:
- provide clear, comprehensive and accessible information about the support and opportunities that are available
- make provision more responsive to local needs
