Why bother? • The new SEN Reforms – Sept 2014 • Local authorities are expected to publish a clear, transparent ‘local offer’ of services, developed with parents and young people, so everyone knows what is available. • A single place, which helps people to understand what services they and their family can expect from a range of local agencies. This includes: information on services in education; health and social care and legal rights.
