What is the SEND Information Hub (Local Offer)

Dad with children

All local authorities working with their partners must publish information about how children and young people 0 - 25 who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported in their area.

This is known as the Local Offer.  In Cambridgeshire we call it the SEND Information Hub.

The SEND Information Hub includes information on:

  • services that are available to everyone, such as schools and GPs
  • targeted support and services for children and young people who may need some additional, short term support
  • specialist services for children and young people who have complex needs and need longer term specialised support  
What information is included in the SEND Information Hub?
  • how early years providers, schools and colleges identify and support children with SEND
  • specialist services that support children and young people with SEND
  • childcare and funding
  • health services and support
  • Education, Health and Care assessments and plans and personal budgets 
  • school and college transport
  • schools and college funding for children and young people with SEND
  • how local services are planned and delivered (joint commissioning) 
  • strategies and plans for supporting children with SEND   
  • Service and support directory

To make the SEND Information Hub accessible to all,  the following arrangements are in place:
