Adding services or organisations to the Local Offer directory
Can my service or organisation be registered on local offer ?
We aim to include a wide range of services and information which would be useful to families of children and young people aged up to twenty-five with SEND.
We list and provide a Local Offer flag to services directly provided by, or commissioned on behalf of the London Borough of Camden and/or Camden Clinical Commissioning Group.
We consider requests to be listed from not-for-profit and charitable organisations who provide services to and are accessible to children and young people with SEND.
When requesting inclusion, you will be expected to provide answers to the following questions:
- What is the name of your service?
- What does your service do?
- Where is the service located and what areas does it cover?
- Who does your service provide for?
- How can a child or young person start using the service?
- How are decisions made about eligibility for your service?
- How do you communicate with service users and how are they involved in decision making/planning?
- Is your service fully accessible? If so, how?
- What training have the staff supporting children and young people with SEND had/or will be they be getting?
- What safeguarding processes and procedures do you have in place?
- What quality assurance processes do you have in place?
- Who should a service user contact if they want to raise a concern or complain about something?
- Who can a parent carer or young person contact for further information
Anyone working with children and young people will be required to have appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service Checks, safeguarding policies and insurance in place, which would have to be made available upon request or you can upload these supporting documents with your service record. If there are any complaints from service users, the London Borough of Camden reserves the right to remove your record.
If your service is listed, there is a responsibility on you to ensure you update your record with any changes and that the record is kept accurate and up to date.
How do I register?
Please contact the SEND Service via [email protected].
