The Local Offer (Disability and Special Educational Needs)

The Manchester Local Offer brings together information in one place. It helps children and young people with SEND up to the age of 25 and their parents understand what services and support they can expect locally. This includes their statutory entitlements which are required by law. 

Welcome & Local Offer SEND Information Hub 

See our Welcome To Manchester Local Offer to find out about us, including our Drop Ins, regular newsletter, and how to get involved and have your say. If you are new to the world of SEND, you may find our Guidance for New Parent Carers helpful. 

Our Local Offer SEND Information Hub is a specialist information resource with a range of categories, including Education, Short Breaks and Stuff To Do.
