Local Offer

Local authorities (LAs) must publish a Local Offer, setting out up to date information about services for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The development and review of the Local Offer should involve children, young people and parents/carers. In setting out what they ‘expect to be available’, LAs should include provision which they believe will actually be available. However, there is no duty on your LA to provide everything in the Local Offer for your child or young person. 

You can find out more about the Local Offer on our website and in Chapter 4 of the SEND Code of Practice.
