    Dudley Local Offer: 

    Dudley’s Local Offer is an online resource that brings together information about education, social care, health, transport and other support services into one directory. The directory has been designed with SEND users in mind and has been created in order to try and increase the likelihood of young people, within Dudley, accessing some of the services, activities and opportunities that are available.

    Preparing for Adulthood:

    Funded by the Department for Education (DfE), this organisation provides expertise and support to local authorities and their partners to embed preparing for adulthood from the earliest years. They work to ensure that young people with SEND achieve paid employment, independent living, housing options, good health, friendships, relationships and community inclusion.
