A local offer gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families information about what support services will be available in their area. The name ‘local offer’ was given by the government.
Every local authority must talk with children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families to find out what sort of support and services they need. There will be many different types of services that children and young people may need, including support services in school and specialist health services.
