Hackney SEND Parents Carer Forum (HSPCF)
Hackney SEND Parents Carer Forum (HSPCF) has a range of useful information and local events:
Local Offer
All Local Authorities and their SEND Partners have a duty to provide information about services and support that make up their 0-25 SEND Local Offer to families.
For information about local services and support see Hackney’s 0-25 SEND Local Offer website.
On this website you can find out what services do, their contact and referral details, processes related to SEND including templates and guidance,
If you are not digitally confident or can’t find what you are looking for there is a contact form available at the top of each page. The Local Offer lead will receive these messages.
The Local Offer lead is not a case worker and is not an alternative route to directly contacting a service but they will try to help with your query. They may try to: link you in with the information you need, forward your email to a relevant service,or call you back for a short discussion if you have provided a phone number to understand more about the information you need or that may be helpful to you.
