The Local Offer team will be heading to libraries in October to provide parents and carers with the details they need about support for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Councillor Carole Pattison, cabinet member for learning, aspiration and communities, said: “The Local Offer is a fantastic resource which we are keen to share with our families. It helps some of our most vulnerable children and is one of the ways we are transforming SEND provision across Kirklees.
