The SEND Local Offer is a statutory resource that compiles local SEND information, provision, and resources in one place – ‘setting out in one place information about provision they expect to be available across education, health and social care for children and young people in their area who have SEN or are disabled, including those who do not have Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans,’ (SEND Code of Practice, 2015).
The Local Offer has two key purposes:
To provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about the available provision and how to access it, and
To make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving disabled children and those with SEN and their parents, and disabled young people and those with SEN, and service providers in its development and review
We hope that our new Local Offer will become a central hub for children and young people with SEND and their families for all information, resources and news about services and provision in Cumberland.
We have chosen to move the website for several reasons, including:
The new site offers easier navigation, making it simpler for families and professionals to find information and resources they need. We consulted with families on how the new website should look and feel following Local Government Reorganisation in Cumbria, and have co-produced the new site with SENDAC, the statutory parent/carer forum for Cumberland.
The site uses the same platform as the Family Hub website, meaning there is more consistency and familiarity across websites hosted by Cumberland Council.
The new site platform is simpler and easier to update, so we can keep information and resources as up to date as possible.
We would love to hear your feedback on the new Local Offer website.
