• New Local Offer Website - SEND

  Wed 28 Apr 2021

  The Birmingham Local Offer website The Birmingham Local Offer website is now launched. It includes information about the wide range of services that are available to support all areas of a child’s life (0-25 years) especially those with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). This includes support with education, physical and mental health, social care, leisure activities and moving towards independence and adulthood. What is the Local Offer? Every Local Authority in England has a duty to provide children and young people, (0-25 years) with support if they have Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities - this is known as the Local Offer. Every Local Authority has to publish what support is available on a website: this is called the Local Offer Website. This Local Offer website gives information about the support that the local authority expects to be available across education, health and social care. The information on the website is clear and easy to find. It says who a particular service is for, how to apply, and how decisions are made about who gets that service. The information you should be able to find on a Local Offer Website includes: Sources of support, advice and information for children, young people and families including support groups and forums.  Special educational, health and social care provision for children and young people with SEN or disabilities  Arrangements to identify and assess children and young people with SEN, including how an assessment can be requested.  Other educational provision, for example leisure activities, sports or arts provision,  Information about provision to assist in preparing children and young people for adulthood including post-16 education and training provision  Arrangements for travel to and from schools, post-16 institutions and early years providers  Childcare, including suitable provision for disabled children and those with SEND  Support available to young people in higher education, particularly the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and the process and timescales for making an application for DSA  Arrangements for resolving disagreements and for mediation, and details about making complaints In Birmingham, we have been updating our Local Offer website to make the information in it clearer and easier to find. We have done this with the help of the Birmingham Parent Carer Forum and the Youth Forum, but this is just the start. We really want to keep adding to the information on the Local Offer Website in order to make it the one stop shop for young people and their families. To do this we need your views and ideas. Please visit our new site www.localofferbirmingham.co.uk and give us your feedback using the feedback form on the site.

• Vegtastic Lunchbox Hacks

  Tue 20 Apr 2021

  Vegetables are a key part of a healthy diet but it can be a real struggle to get kids to eat enough of them. Adding an extra portion or two to their packed lunch will help to up their intake. 

  Top tip: Know your portions – a child’s portion of veg is roughly 50g or what fits into a child
