Question of the Week 17

If you were new to SEND, would Devon’s SEND Local Offer website help you know where to start

Finding the right information early on can make a big difference, especially when families are just beginning their SEND journey.

How would you answer?

👍 Yes, it clearly shows where to start
❤️ It has useful information, but I’d still need help
😮 I didn’t know the Local Offer website existed
😢 I would feel overwhelmed or unsure where to click
😡 No, it wouldn’t help me know what to do next

Please react below and, if you feel able to, tell us in the comments:

👉 What information would you expect to find first?
👉 What would have helped you when you were new to SEND?
👉 What could make the website easier for new families?
