“The new East Sussex Local Offer website was formally launched on 19 January 2022.

The new Local Offer website has been launched by East Sussex County Council providing a valuable resource hub of information about the services and support available to children and young people who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and their families.

The website is a complete redesign of the Local Offer and has been carefully coproduced with a range of stakeholders including Amaze Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Information Advice & Support Service (SENDIASS), East Sussex Parent Carer Forum (ESPCF), Parent Carers, ISEND service teams and a range of other education, health and care professionals. The website aims to provide information in an accessible and easy to use format.

Some features of the new Local Offer include a modern design and coproduced illustrations, accessible navigation tools, audio readers for all text and a SEND specific directory, hosted on East Sussex 1Space.

East Sussex 1Space is free to use and brings together groups, services and organisations that offer care, support, activities and wellbeing services to people throughout the county. The 1Space directory offers multiple ways to search for services including keyword searches, or navigation through categories.

We encourage you to signpost staff and parents/carers to the Local Offer where they have questions regarding SEND.
