Calderdale Specialist Inclusion Team Information

What is the Local Authority Local Offer?

  • The Children and Families Bill Act (2014) requires Local Authorities and schools to publish, and keep under review, information about services they expect to be available for the children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) aged 0-25. This is the ‘Local Offer’.

  • The intention of the Local Offer is to improve choice and transparency for families. It will also be an important resource for parents in understanding the range of services and provision in the local area.

Calderdale's Local Offer is one central place to access all information about services and support available to disabled children, young people and their families. Whether you are a child, young person or parent/carer, you will be able to access all the information you need about education, leisure, social care and health. 

You can access Calderdale's Local Offer on their website.

What is the SEND Information Report?

The SEND Information Report uses the LA Local Offer to meet the needs of pupils with SEND as determined by school policy, and the provision that the school is able to meet. Please follow the link below for our local offer.

Please find a link below which will take you to our policies, including those relevant to Special Education Needs.

Complaints procedure for SEND provision

The school follows a complaint procedure and this will be followed for any SEND complaints. If you have a query or complaint regarding your child and their special educational need please initially talk to the class teacher. This query will then be discussed and resolved or passed on to the SENCo. If you feel this issue has not been dealt with sufficiently or you still need further advice please inform the Head Teacher or governing body.
