What is the local offer?
There are significant potential benefits from a well-articulated, accessible, available, up-to-date and well publicised local offer. The local offer has the potential to:
• provide clarity and confidence for parents;
• support earlier intervention;
• reduce the need for assessment: a number of local authorities will make a minimum level of short breaks provision readily available and without costly assessment processes. This meets the needs of many families;
• identify need and gaps in provision;
• provide an evidence base for improving progress and securing better outcomes, at school and local level.

The local offer provides information on a number of things, including:
·  special educational provision (every school must provide 'SEND PROVISION' information to the local offer);
·  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.

The vision for the local offer:
• It envisages a multi-agency approach with joint commissioning to meet the needs of children through the local offer, and through individual Education, Health and Care Plans where necessary;
• It holds the potential for other services to enhance the local offer, for example leisure and housing;
• Keeping the local offer under review will be important to its development, improvement and the engagement of all parties.

Please watch the video below by young people explaining what the Local Offer is all about.
