A local offer is a single place for information, services, and resources offered to support children and young people who have special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities from birth to age 25.
It will also help parents/ carers understand what is on offer to support them as well.
You can use the Local Offer website to:
- understand what to do if you're new to SEND
- browse for local support such as where you can find helpful advice, fun activities or services
- find out about educational settings in Wolverhampton or nearby for Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Sixth form, Colleges, Further Education and Higher Education
- find out about travel assistance arrangements for children or young people attending Schools, Colleges or an Early Year’s setting
- find out what to do in a complex situation, for example if you need to appeal a decision
- how to get advice for young adults with SEND, such as housing and employment support
