LOCALS will have the chance to attend an event showcasing the special educational needs and disability services and support available in the town later this month.
The event will take place on Wednesday, September 25, between 10am and 6pm at the Barnsley Metrodome.
At the event, there will be more than 35 stalls and a host of organisations offering information, guidance and specialist knowledge about what they can offer. This will cover information that spans all stages of the SEND journey - from starting nursery, through to leaving school, seeking employment and living independently.
Coun Trevor Cave, cabinet spokesperson for children’s services, said: “Our Local Offer Live events are a wonderful opportunity for families and young people impacted by SEND to find out just what support is out there for them in Barnsley.
“Our local offer is more than just a directory of organisations, it’s a network of education, health and support services that together make sure families can access the service and support they need, wherever they are on their SEND journey.
“If you’re unable to attend the event, don’t worry, we will be hosting more events in the future and I’d urge you to take a look at our local offer webpage where you’ll find a wealth of information."
