Background
Our Local Offer includes information about the services, support and activities available for children and young people aged 0-25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in West Berkshire. It's a guide to what you can expect to find in our area and how you can access that service.
Children, young people and carers have been involved in developing our Local Offer so that it reflects what's needed. Local schools, colleges, health services and partner organisations help us make sure that it contains clear, comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date information.
Why we want your views
We'd like to know if you're aware of our West Berkshire SEND Local Offer website, and if so, can you easily find the information you need? We'd also like to know if you have any suggestions for information that might be included.
Whether you've used our Local Offer many times or if this is the first time you've heard of it, we'd love to know what you think.
We'll also be gathering the views of partner organisations, council staff and voluntary and community groups.
If you haven't visited them already, you can find our Local Offer webpages here.
How to take part
If you'd like to take part, please complete our survey by midnight on Sunday, 1 September 2024. It should take about seven minutes.
If you have any questions about the survey, or would like to be part of a user group to help develop our Local Offer, please email our Head of Early Years.
For general enquiries about children's services, schools and education, please visit our webpage.
What happens next
All the responses we receive will help us develop and improve the Local Offer. Changes will be made to the website as quickly as possible during our Directory Development Project. This is an exciting opportunity to make suggestions to the Local Offer and possibly see your ideas added within a very short space of time!
NB: Please allow enough time to complete the online survey. There is no 'save and continue' button, however, if you use the same device and web browser you started completing the survey with, you can pick up where you left off and/or edit your response until the survey closes. This is because a cookie is stored in your browser that remembers your survey response. Please note, responses are saved and submitted 'page by page' when you click the 'Next' or 'Done' button at the bottom of each page; they don't automatically save as each question is answered. If more than one person in your household wishes to complete the online survey, they must use a different device and/or browser.
