Please see our video above about how to navigate the Milton Keynes SEND Local Offer. 

We also have a document to support navigating the Milton Keynes SEND Local Offer.

The Children and Families Act 2014 changed the way that children and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) were supported by requiring all local authorities to provide a ‘local offer’ for families with a child or young person with SEND.  The legislation also introduced Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) for children and young people with more complex needs.  

The local offer is a directory of information that helps families to find and access support by:

• giving you information about education, health and care services, as well as leisure activities and support groups
• holding all the information in one place
• being clear, comprehensive and easy to access
• being developed and reviewed with people who provide services and by families who use them

The local offer is for:

• children and young people with SEND from birth to 25 years
• parents and carers
• practitioners and professionals

We also share regular updates on our Facebook page and in our SEND Newsletter.

If you would like to share your feedback or get in contact with us, please email us.

This short film aims to give children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities information about the Local Offer. It also covers how children and young people and their families can get involved in their local area to give their views and opinions on what services should be offered.
