Details about SEND Local Offer drop-in events, where families can meet professionals, ask questions, and find out about support and services available in their area.
SEND Local Offer drop-in events
Our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Local Offer drop in events are an opportunity for parents and carers to speak to different teams and service providers. They are an informal way to ask questions and find out more about what support is available to you and your family, within your local area. No appointment needed.
We will always aim to have a variety of teams and services represented; however, we might not always have the person you are looking for or the answers to your questions. In this case we will send your queries to the relevant service and team.
Please note: We will not be able to advise on ongoing tribunals or complaints.
Feedback
