Local Offer

Description

What is Wandsworth’s Local Offer ?

To use this service your child would need to be:

  • Referred by your school's Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCo),

The SENCo in the school decides with the class teacher(s) and the parents/carers which children should be referred to the service.

The child’s class teacher, the SENCo and the parent/carer fill in a referral form for the service. The referral form collects information about the student in literacy or mathematics before the specialist literacy or numeracy teacher starts an assessment and writes a report.

The SEND Local Offer team value all feedback you may have about this service or the Local Offer in general. We invite you to click this link to leave your comments.
