What is the Local Offer
The Leicestershire Local Offer gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) and their families information about help and services in Leicestershire.
The Local Offer brings together in one place information about health, education and social care for:
- children and young people from birth to 25 years old who have a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND)
- parents and carers of children with SEND
- professionals working in health, care and education
- providers of services for children and young people
In Leicestershire, our SEND Local Offer consists of the Local Offer home page, Facebook page, SEND news and the Information and support directory. It is really important that parents, carers and young people are involved in developing the Local Offer. You can find out more about this in the Sharing your views section of our Local Offer.
