Information for families

What families can expect from the Leeds Local Offer.

What is the Leeds Local Offer?

The Leeds Local Offer is a website that gives information in one place. It is for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It is also for their parents and carers.

The Local Offer shows what help and services are available in Leeds. This includes education, health, and social care. 

Why do we have a Local Offer?

The Local Offer has two main jobs:

  • To give clear and up-to-date information about services and how to get them.
  • To make services better by listening to children and young people with SEND, their families, and service providers.

How does it help families?

The Local Offer helps families find the right support. It gives information so you can make good choices about the services you use.
