Building the best Local Offer

What we do
‍

We are advocates for the Local Offer. We want to help you make your Local Offer

• readable, through writing or training
• accessible, through training and testing
• user friendly, through service design
• findable, through publicity

A Local Offer gives children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities, and their families, information about what support services the local authority think are available in their local area. This must cover education, health and social care. Every local authority is responsible for creating a Local Offer and making sure it is available for everyone to see.

The Sebacic Vision

The Local Offer should be the place for families and professionals to come for useful information they need to make Education, Health and Social Care decisions for today and for next year.

We use the acronym ACCTUp to guide our thinking around the Local Offer

ACCTUp

Sebacic works with Local Authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups to make sure the Local Offer is working for your families and professionals.

We advocate for more input from parents and carers, and young people.

We want every Local Offer to improve the lives of every young person with special educational needs or disabilities.

We've found that many Local Offers are

• poorly designed for users
• wordy and complicated
• stopping users from taking action
• not compliant with accessibility law
• not widely used
