Special educational needs and disabilities
Supporting children and young people throughout Hampshire
We know that caring for a child or young person with SEND is a challenging time. Here you can learn what help may be available for your child and your family. We can guide you through the support available in education settings and how to get a break from caring.
People that work with children and young people can also learn about their responsibilities towards those with SEND. You can find out what professionals must do to support your child, and how we make decisions relating to that support.
Hampshire's SEND Local Offer
Hampshire's SEND Local Offer is designed to help you find the very best support for your child or young person. The Local Offer includes information about education, health, social care, preparation for adulthood, leisure services and access to impartial advice or support.
If you live on the border of Hampshire, you may wish to see the neighbouring authorities local offer as well. View Hampshire's neighbouring local authorities and their SEND Local Offers.
