Newcastle Local Offer
The Local Offer
Newcastle is developing a single place – the Local Offer - where people with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND), their families and those who work with them can access information about SEND services.
The new legislation asks local authorities to bring together information about education, health, care, training, employment, independent living and other important resources together for the first time.
The Local offer is also about having your say in shaping services. If you want to get involved, please email Newcastle Local Authority at localoffer@newcastle.gov.uk
