Why Cornwall has a SEND Local Offer
We want to support children, young people and families with SEND. Every Local Authority must have a Local Offer. It has information about education, health and social care for children and young people with SEND. This includes those who do not have statements or Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans. Find out more on page 59 of the SEND Code of Practice.
