What are Locality Boards?
Locality boards are a dynamic collaboration between education leaders and North Yorkshire Council. The five boards share the aim of maximising outcomes and promoting inclusivity for children and young people aged from 0-25 years old.
North Yorkshire Council allocates budgets to each board, enabling them to initiate projects tailored to the evolving needs of their communities. To find out more about how your setting can benefit from the projects on offer, visit your locality board pages by clicking on their logo above.
How to get involved?
Board members are from your community and work hard to give you what you need to support your children and young people. If you are an education leader of children and young people in North Yorkshire then you could become a member of the board. Keep a look out for board vacancies on this website as well as through emails.

Interested in getting involved?
Locality Boards bring together partners from across education to support children and young people with SEND in their local area.
We are always keen to hear from school leaders, Early Years providers (including childminders) and Post-16 providers who may be interested in becoming part of their Locality Board. By completing an expression of interest, you'll be added to our pool of potential members and we will contact you when suitable opportunities arise on your local board.
The commitment is typically one meeting per half term and offers a valuable opportunity to influence local SEND developments, share expertise, and collaborate with colleagues across the system.
Interested? Please complete the expression of interest form and we will be in touch when a suitable opportunity becomes available.
