In Line with ‘The Children and Families Act’ (2014) all Local Authorities must publish a ‘Local Offer’ containing information on all provision and services available to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) in the local area, including those who do not have Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans.
Essex County Council has chosen to do this via The Essex Local Offer website, www.essexlocaloffer.org.uk. The website provides information on the following;
• Education
• Employment and Training
• Entertainment and Leisure
• Equipment and Resources
• Health, Social Care and Family Support
• Housing, One Planning and Education
• Health and Care Plans
• Money Matters
• Transport
