Welcome to Derbyshire’s Local Offer
The Local Offer is in place to provide support, guidance and information for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities from 0 to 25 years old, and their families.
On this site, you will find services in your local area and further afield, and information on what support is available to support you and your family.
The Local Offer is split into different topics like Early Years, Education and Learning, Preparing for Adulthood and Leisure or Activities. You will also be presented with information on the different plans available and what support is available.
