Introduction
The statement is part of our Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) local offer. This tells children, young people, and their families what short breaks services are available. It also tells you about the range of services, and how these opportunities are accessed.
The SEND Local Offer provides information about support and services in Warwickshire. This is relevant to parents, carers, or those with parental responsibility of children/young people with SEND and to young people with SEND. Further information can be found at Warwickshire’s SEND Local Offer.
It includes:
- Information about our Short Break activities and providers
- Information about pre-school settings, health, education, and social care services
Knowing what services are available and how to access them gives children, young people, and their families more choice and control over their support.
The SEND Local Offer also describes the processes and pathways families may come across to help inform them when making decisions about their child’s future.
