Nottingham City SEND Local Offer

About this service

The Nottingham City SEND Local Offer is a comprehensive online resource designed to bring together all the information and support services available for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in the city. It serves as a one-stop shop for families, providing clear pathways to education, health, and social care services. Beyond statutory support, the Local Offer also highlights a wide range of community activities, short breaks, and leisure opportunities that are inclusive for children with disabilities. It is a legal requirement for local authorities to maintain this directory, ensuring that parents and carers can easily find the help they need at every stage of their child's life, from birth through to preparation for adulthood. The site is regularly updated with news, changes to legislation, and local events, making it an essential tool for navigating the often-complex world of SEND provision and ensuring that every child has the best start in life.
