Oldham's Local Offer
The Local Offer
The Children and Families Act 2014 introduced a statutory duty on local authorities to develop and publish aLocal Offer, which sets out what they expect to be available for local children and young people with SEN and disabilities across education, health and social care.
TheLocal Offershould include eligibility criteria for services where relevant and make it clear where to go for information, advice and support. It should be easy to understand, jargon free and structured in a way that relates to families’ needs.
Oldham Council are always looking for ways to improve their Local Offer and welcome feedback from families here.
