Do you need information about help for a child with special educational needs and disabilities?
The ‘local offer’ is a term used to describe what is on offer for children, young people and their families with special educational needs and disabilities. It brings together, in one place, information about education, and social care provision.
It can feel overwhelming if a parent has been told that their child might have additional needs, but help and support is available. Find out more about services in Walsall by visiting the Walsall Council local offer webpage.
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called Parentline. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 4.30pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health practitioner within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens.
