The Government is changing the law on SEN and disabilities (SEND). As part of the new reforms which will come info effect from September 2014, Gloucestershire County Council is required to produce information on all of the support available to children and young people with SEND. This is called the ‘Local Offer’. Gloucestershire County Council would like parent carers and young people to be involved in developing the Local Offer and hearing what you have to say about the support you receive. The SEND Local Offer consultation is now live if you would like to have your say. You can do this by visiting https://gloucestershire-consult.objective.co.uk/portal/children/key/localoffer2014 . Hard copies of the consultation form is available from The Key on 08456 583857 or email thekey@glos.nhs.uk.
There are other changes that come into effect from September 2014. More information about the changes can be found on Gloucestershire County Council’s website http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/extra/SENchanges
