Darlington SEND Local Offer
‘The Local Offer is Darlington Borough Council’s publication of all the provision the local authority expects to be available across Education, Health, and Social Care for children and young people (0-25) in our area, who have special educational needs and/or are disabled, including those who do not have Education Health and Care (EHC) plans.
The main purpose of the Local Offer is to provide clear, comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date information about the available provision and how to access it; and to make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, their parents, and service providers in its development and review.’
