Our local offer for children with additional or special educational needs

Each Local Authority has to identity the educational, health and social care services that are available for children, young people and families with additional needs. To see Cumbria’s local offer you can go to:

For admission arrangements please see our Admission Policy on this website.

If parents and carers feel they would like some impartial information, advice or support on any issues relating to their children’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), they can contact the Cumbria SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) who can offer a range of support. We will help parents, carers and young people to prepare for meetings with schools or the local authority and practically support them at the meetings in an appropriate and impartial manner.  We can also signpost to other relevant support networks.
