Simple
Yes. The LA must publish information on the education, health and social care provision it expects to be available in its area for children and young people with SEN: CFA2014 s30; COP2015 Chapter 4. This is known as the “local offer”. It should be noted the inclusion of a service within the local offer does not mean it will necessarily be available to any particular child or young person.
When preparing and reviewing the local offer, the LA must consult children, young people, schools, and others: Regs2014 r55.
However, the consultation is on a “compendium of information” and will only be successfully challenged where something went “radically wrong”: L&P v Warwickshire [2015] EWHC 203 (Admin) #54-57.
