Dear colleagues,
As per our email last week, the new Cumberland SEND Local Offer website launches today, with communications going out today to families, schools, and health colleagues.
You can access the new site here: Cumberland's SEND Local Offer | Cumberland SEND
URL: https://cumberlandsend.co.uk/cumberland-send
The SEND Local Offer is a statutory resource that compiles local SEND information, provision, and resources in one place – ‘setting out in one place information about provision they expect to be available across education, health and social care for children and young people in their area who have SEN or are disabled, including those who do not have Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans,’ (SEND Code of Practice, 2015)
What do I need to do?
To make the transition to our new Local Offer website as smooth as possible following the launch on the 26th January, we would ask our colleagues in schools to please do the following:
- Disseminate this message to any colleagues who it may be relevant to, who may use or refer to the Local Offer in their work.
- Review any webpages or social media pages your organisation has that may link to the old Local Offer and please update these to the new link. There will be a redirect on the old site for a limited time, however some links will likely be broken from Wednesday 28th January.
- Review any paperwork, including letter templates etc. that may link to the old Local Offer and please update these to the new link.
- Print copies of the new Local Offer poster (attached and available to download here) and display these in communal spaces where children and young people and/or families can access it.
- Include news of the new Local Offer in any communications to parents/ carers and families. We have written a summary at the end of this letter that can be used.
Thank you for your cooperation as we make this change. Any feedback about the new Local Offer can be provided here: Cumberland SEND Local Offer Feedback | Let's Talk Cumberland
New email banner displayed below and is available to download here to add to signatures if you wish.
