Support for children with Special Educational Needs or a Disability
The Surrey Local Offer is an online hub for children between 0-25 years. It recognises that children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and their parents/carers are facing numerous challenges as a result of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
The web page is intended to answer some frequently asked questions and signpost parent/carers and practitioners to telephone and online support that might be helpful. The page will be regularly reviewed and reflect changes in the guidance.
The online hub can be accessed via www.surreylocaloffer.org.uk/kb5/surrey/localoffer/advice.page
