Hertfordshire Local Offer

The Hertfordshire Local Offer is a resource provided by Hertfordshire County Council aimed at supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and their families. It serves as a comprehensive guide to the services, support, and resources available within the local area.

The Local Offer includes detailed information on education, health, social care, and leisure services, encompassing early years provision, schools, colleges, and other educational settings. It outlines various support services from the local authority, health services, and voluntary organisations, covering therapies, counselling, and support groups. Additionally, it provides guidance on the assessment and eligibility for SEND support, including the Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment process and eligibility criteria for different types of support.

The Hertfordshire Local Offer aims to ensure that children and young people with SEND and their families have access to clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date information to make informed decisions about the support and services they need. It also includes mechanisms for feedback to ensure continuous improvement of the services provided.
