Nottinghamshire Local Offer

What is a Local Offer?

The Children and Families Act (2014) required that all local authorities publish and maintain a ‘Local Offer’. The Local Offer has a wide range of information about all the support and facilities which families can expect to find in their area, for children and young people who have special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities.
