Wiltshire Local Offer Update - Sept 2020

The previous domain name for the Local Offer website expired some time ago. We are aware that many websites are still using the old domain name: www.wiltshirelocaloffer.org.uk and this is causing issues for people trying to get to the Local Offer website. As the previous domain name has expired, anyone still clicking the out of date link may be misled into thinking the website has been hacked, which is not correct. Additionally, the old domain name will soon be available to buy on the open market and if it is purchased, anyone still using the old website address for the Local Offer will be taken to the wrong website.


We would therefore like to remind everyone that the correct website address for the Local Offer website is: www.wiltshire.gov.uk/local-offer.

We would be grateful if all organisations can check their links on their websites to the Local Offer website and update if necessary.


Further update - 23/09/20
If you have visited the [Local Offer website] recently, you will have noticed that it is suddenly looking very different to the website that was coproduced with parent carers. This is because Wiltshire Council has had to move their website to a more secure platform and have adopted a layout similar to .GOV websites, as many other local authorities have chosen to do. Unfortunately, as the Local Offer website is hosted on the main Council website, this has changed the way the Local Offer website looks. Most of the original content is still there but it looks very different. The WPCC has raised its concerns about the changes to the Local Offer website and we are in the process of working with the Council to address the sudden changes.

We are aware that in moving the Local Offer website to a new platform, some of the links on the website are not working. If when using the Local Offer website you find any links that aren’t working, please let the WPCC know (email: admin@wiltspcc.co.uk) and we will pass the information on so that the necessary corrections can be made to the website.
