The aim is to improve the Special Educational Needs system, enhance the quality of life for families living in the local area and ensure the best outcome for children and young people.
Swindon's Local Offer website highlights the full range of support and services available; some of these will be Council services, some will be independent and others will be collaborative. The information should be easily accessible and in enough detail to enable families to make the best choices for their children.
Having set out what is available for children, young people and their families, the Council is then required to annually gather feedback on the range and quality of support on offer. Swindon Borough Council will publish a summary of this feedback and a response about what will be done differently as a result.
It is very important for parents, children and young people to be involved in developing this local offer, so all feedback and suggestions about services and the website will be considered carefully.
