Young Tower Hamlets

Local Offer

https://www.localoffertowerhamlets.co.uk/pages/local-offer/what-is-the-local-offer

Every council must publish a local offer. This will tell you what support is available for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities, and their families.

It includes information about education, health and care provision. It will also tell you about training, employment and independent living for young people with special educational needs or disabilities.
