Watch: Introduction to the Wiltshire Local Offer (opens new window) or jump to: watch the video in other languages. You can also watch Young Pioneers interview the Local Offer Officer (opens new window).

The Local Offer should explain what help and services are available for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities. This means telling you what's available in your local area and what the local authority thinks should be available outside the area for children it is responsible for.

We always like to hear your feedback about the Local Offer and this helps us improve the website, for you the user.

Our Local Offer includes information on:

• education
• other or alternative educational provision
• preparing for adulthood and independent living
• health provision
• social care provision
• SEND service
• leisure
• travel
• support and guidance

If you would like to help share Local Offer information with your community or service users you can download a 'What is the Local Offer' poster by visiting the document section of the SEND service resources page: Right Choice: SEND resource (opens new window)

To find out about the policy relevant to the creation of the Local Offer visit: Children and Families Act 2014 (opens new window). Wiltshire's Local Offer has been developed in partnership with parent carers and other stakeholders. We have ambitious aspirations for the Local Offer, as we strive for it to become increasingly comprehensive and user-friendly. We hope to achieve this by regularly reviewing, developing and updating our Local Offer website in partnership with parent carers, young people and other stakeholders. In 2014, the DfE produced The Local Offer (youtube.com) (opens new window), a video that describes what a Local Offer is.
