Live 25! Brings together information for children and young people aged 0-25 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families. The event is open to all SEND young people and the adults, parents, carers and professionals that support them to access services offering information, advice, guidance and support about navigating their future, including education, health, social care, transport and much more. Throughout the day there are a series of talks, as well as a marketplace with stalls from services across the council.
The Department for Education has created a video which explains what is meant by "local offer" and what you can expect from your local authority.
