The Sunderland Local Offer provides information and support for children and young people with SEND aged 0 to 25, and their families and carers.
The Local Offer contains information from providers who want to actively promote that they welcome disabled children and young people into their setting. You should contact each provider to ensure that they can offer the level of service you and your family need. It is a useful guide to what you can expect to find in your area and how you can access that service.
