Sandwell Council is inviting parents, carers and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to share their views on the current SEND Local Offer website.
The Local Offer provides vital information about services and support available across education, health and social care for children and young people with SEND. It’s a key resource for families, and now Sandwell Council is redesigning the website to make it even more helpful, accessible and easy to use.
The council wants to hear directly from those who use the site – or would like to – to help shape a new version that truly meets the needs of local families.
Fill in the survey which is open until 28 September 2025
Sandwell Council’s Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, Councillor Harnoor Bhullar, said: “We know how important it is for families to be able to find the right support quickly and easily. That’s why we’re redesigning the SEND Local Offer website – and we want to make sure it’s shaped by the people who use it.
Your feedback will help us build a website that works for everyone, whether you’re looking for school information, health services, activities or advice. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and help us make the Local Offer the best it can be.”
The survey asks about how families and young people use the current website, what works well, and what could be improved. It also explores ideas for new features, such as easier navigation, better search tools, and more visual content.
Families who take part will also have the opportunity to join a new Local Offer Feedback Group, helping to test and shape the website as it develops.
