Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the take-up of the local offer as contained in the Children and Families Act 2014; and if she will make a statement.
This question was answered on 22nd October 2014
99% of local authorities, including Herefordshire, have published their local offers and are required by the Children and Families Act 2014 to review them in consultation with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities and their parents. This will enable local authorities to assess how responsive their local offer is to local needs and take action to improve it.
