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.

It takes courage to ask for help. But for many young people who do, the support they need just isn’t there. Hundreds of thousands of young people are struggling with their mental health, but too many are being told to wait, struggling to cope and hitting a crisis point before they get help.
