Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Our vision is for every child and young person in Sandwell with special educational needs and disabilities to live a healthy, ordinary life. We want them to achieve their dreams of meaningful employment and have fulfilling relationships within a community they choose to be a part of.
To help make this vision a reality, the Local Authority has created the 'Local Offer.' This guide outlines all the support and services that are available for children and young people with SEND in Sandwell. It's your one-stop shop for finding the help you need.
