Middlesbrough Council provides a 'Local Offer', which is way of giving children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their parents or carers information about what activities and support is available in the area where you live.

These services are designed to make it easier to find out what you need to know and when you need to know it, so you’re less reliant on other people or word of mouth suggestions.  Showing you the nearest and most suitable services, letting you give feedback, raise concerns or make a comment or complaint.

You can find out information on childcare, education, health and well-being, social care, support groups, and much more.
