The Local Offer must include information about the provision the
local authority expects to be available for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) regardless of whether or not they have an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP). The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families.

Our school is part of the Angmering Locality of Schools who work collaboratively to ensure best practice and a common approach is in place. The questions and answers below have been written collectively by the schools and represent our common values and practices.

Local Authorities must publish a local offer, setting out in one place information about provision they expect to be available for children and young people in their area who have SEN, including those who do not have Education, Health Care plans (EHCP's).

The local offer has two key purposes:

• To provide clear, comprehensive and accessible information about the provision available
• To make provision more responsive to local needs and aspirations by directly involving children and young people with SEN, parents and carers, and service providers in its development and review
