SEND information for parents
At some point in life all children will need some additional support to help them access their education and make the most of what life has to offer, whether that be in the short term or for their whole school life.
The local offer provides information for children and young people with special educational needs (SEND) and their parents or carers in a single place.
The East Riding Local Offer :
The local offer provides information on what services children, young people and their families can expect from a range of local agencies, including education, health and social care.
Knowing what is out there gives you more choice and therefore more control over what support is right for your child.
The local offer provides information on a number of things, including :-
- special educational provision;
- health provision;
- social care provision;
- other educational provision;
- training provision;
- travel arrangements for children and young people to schools, colleges and early years education; and preparing for adulthood, including housing, employment and leisure opportunities.
