SEND Dorset Local Offer

Under Government instruction, Dorset Council have collated all their information, advice and support for children and young people from 0 to 25 years, who have Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) and their families.

The four broad areas of need are:
  • Communication and interaction.
  • Cognition and learning.
  • Social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
  • Sensory and/or physical needs.

They have overhauled their website and are presenting their content as a directory under the name SEND Dorset Local Offer with the following categories:

  • Education and learning
  • Health
  • Transport
  • Activities
  • Preparing for Adulthood
  • Money
  • Childcare
  • The XChange

The main thing is that the published Local Offer should be easy to understand, factual and jargon-free. It should be structured in a way that relates to young people’s and parents’ needs (for example by broad age group or type of special educational provision). It should be well signposted and well publicised.
