Service update – Microsoft Outlook service disruption
We are aware of a global Microsoft service disruption which may affect Outlook and other Microsoft services.
As a result, some of Herefordshire Council's online forms and enquiries may be affected. This is because many of the forms submitted through our website are delivered to our teams via email.
If you need to contact us about something urgent, please do not rely on submitting an online form at this time. Instead, please contact the relevant service by telephone, or call customer contact centre, contact numbers - Contact us - Herefordshire Council
For anything that is not urgent, you can continue to use our website, although there may be delays in receiving or responding to submissions.
We are monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.
Mainstream community services are open to everyone. You do not need a social care assessment for your child to attend. These are called universal activities. Examples include:
- Youth clubs
- Uniformed groups (for example Cubs, Brownies)
- Leisure centres
- Nurseries and childminders
- Activity-based groups
Community services must consider how they can help children with disabilities to use their services.
We are working with local activity providers to help them make their services easier to access for children with disabilities.
You can find details of suitable activities through:
- Viewing the social opportunities for children and young people with SEND page
- Searching the Talk Community Directory
- Following Herefordshire SEND Local Offer on Facebook
- Your local community
- Your child's school
