What is the local offer?
A local offer gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families information about what support services are available in their area.
We talk with children, young people and their families to find out what support and services they need.

Education options for your child
Mainstream schools must put arrangements in place to support your child's individual needs.
If your child or young person has an education health and care (EHC) plan or you are amending the plan, you can find out more about special schools or specialist resource provisions.
View your child's education options and how schools can support your child.
