Children and Young People with Specialist Needs (SEND)
The Essex Local Offer
The Essex Local Offer has been published as part of the SEND reforms under the Children and Families Act 2014.
Under the Children and Families Act 2014 each Local Authority was required to publish a Local Offer detailing what provision and services were available in their area for children and young people with SEND by the 1st September 2014. The Local Offer is a living and organic resource that will be developed over time with the assistance of our partners, parents and young people.
The Essex Local Offer will:
- Give you information about education, health and care services
- Give you information about leisure activities and support groups
- Hold all the information in one place
- Be clear, comprehensive and accessible
- Make service provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations
- Be developed and reviewed with the service providers and service user
Please see the link above for more information and how to join if you represent an organisation that provides services to support Essex children and young people.
