The SEND Code of Practice 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014 provide the key legal framework in England. These guide education providers, health services, and local authorities to ensure children and young people with SEND receive appropriate help across education, health, social care and everyday life.
Support looks different for every family; it might include extra help in school, therapies, adaptations at home, or advice on accessing activities. The good news is that you don’t have to navigate this alone. The Wolverhampton SEND Local Offer is a fantastic starting point: it’s designed to be easy to use, with clear information on services for education, health, social care, leisure, and more. It even has a dedicated section just for parents and carers.
