Local Offer

This guide will help local areas to develop the Preparation for Adulthood elements of their Local Offer.
It provides ideas and suggestions for what to include in the Local Offer so that it supports young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) as they prepare for and move into adulthood. It aims to help young people achieve better life chances as intended by them.

This learning example is from PfA demonstration sites, Cheshire West and Chester, Dudley and Leeds following how they developed their Local Offers.

The Department for Education have launched their analysis and summary of key data sources for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN).

Following the publication of guidance on transition from children's to adults services, NICE have released related a quality standard. This quality standard covers all young people (aged up to 25) using children's health and social care services who are due to make the transition to adults' services.

This set of resources from Disability Matters offer 58 e-learning topics on disability, communication, supporting independence and working in a person-centred way.
