Local Offer Survey 2024

The Local Offer website aims to provide clear, accessible information about what support and services are available in the area for parents, children and young people aged 0 - 25 years with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). 

The site continues to be developed by a group consisting of representatives from the parent carer forum, local authority and health services, community partners, parent/carers and young people with SEND. We aim to provide a site that complies with the statutory requirements outlined in the SEND code of practice and SEND Regulations 2014 and most importantly meets the needs of local families. 

We would like to collect your views on how you are using the website, what you find useful and what parts we need to improve.

The survey can be completed online by following the link below:

The survey will be open until Monday 4^th November. Findings from the survey will be shared on the Local Offer website and a future edition of the newsletter.”
