Help us update our list of SEND local groups and activities 📣
As part of our ongoing work to keep the East Riding Local Offer fresh and relevant, we’re updating our directory of local groups and activities that support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
If you run or are part of a group that’s SEND specific, we’d love to hear from you, so we can include it in our updated directory.
By sharing your details, you’ll help families across East Riding discover the support and opportunities available in their communities and ensure your group is visible to those who need it most.
📩 Please email us at: localoffer@eastriding.gov.uk

Extra Support for EOTIS/C Learners🎓
We’re pleased to share that work has been ongoing for some time to support the very small number of children and young people in the East Riding who are part of the EOTIS/C group.
EOTIS/C stands for Education Other Than In School/ College. This applies to children whose education is delivered in a different way because it would be inappropriate for their education to be delivered in a setting.
This work has included:
- Strengthening policies, procedures, and guidance around EOTIS/C.
- Investing in a dedicated EOTIS Coordinator to oversee and support the cohort.
We've also created a one page guide for families of EOTIS/C learners which was recently sent out to families of the EOTIS/C group.
As promised, we're now sharing this update with the wider parent carer community, along with news of our new EOTIS/C Policy, which will be published on the Local Offer shortly.
If you would like a copy of the policy in the meantime, please email Emma Gray
