Bucks’ SEND Local Offer
The Buckinghamshire SEND Local Offer brings together a wealth of information about SEND provision across the county for children and young people aged 0-25 years. The Bucks SEND Local Offer has been developed with parents, carers, young people, and professionals and the input from all these people helps us to keep it up to date and relevant. We are in full support of the council’s effort and would like to share some more information about the SEND local offer.
The local offer sets out the support available in Buckinghamshire for children and young people aged 0 to 25 with SEND. This includes children and young people with or without an education, health and care (EHC) plan.
The offer aims to:
- provide clear, accessible information about available services and support
- ensure that young people with SEND, and their parents and carers, are listened to when local services are developed and reviewed
Examples of the types of support include: education, health and social care.
