Placid - the SEND Local Offer for the next ten years

A place to belong

A SEND Local Offer should reflect your people and your place. It shouldn't feel like the council's corporate site.

The Local Offer is owned by the SEND Partnership Board. That's the Local Authority, Health, the voluntary sector, schools, colleges. Everyone working together for SEND learners 0 to 25.

It should feel welcoming, a place for children and parent carers to feel at home.

We'll work with your parent carer forum and young people to get their input and we'll design something they'll be proud of.

We'll even add case studies of real parents and children to show successes in SEND and inclusion.

Build the website with strong foundations

You don't need to know that we build with LocalGov Drupal.

You don't need to know that this is open source software.

You don't need to know there are loads of councils and companies working on the source code.

But we hope it'll reassure you that your SEND Local Offer is going to be kept up to date, safe and secure.
