Introduction to the SEND Local Offer Website

Please see below for details of a webinar about the Hertfodshire ‘Local Offer’, which may be of interest.

The Local Offer website lets parents, young people and professionals know what special educational needs and disabilities services are available in Hertfordshire, and who can access them. There is so much more than that, too.

A friendly face from the Local Offer team will take you through what’s on the website and how you can use it to find the right services and support.
