Norfolk Register of Disabled Children and Young People
The Register of Disabled Children and Young People is a secure database of all children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are known to us (Norfolk County Council). View our data protection information.
By law, we must keep a register of disabled children and young people living in Norfolk. This helps us to make better decisions when we are planning and developing services for all families and children.
If you wish to receive regular information on support, advice, and guidance please sign up to the monthly SEND bulletin.
Although we must keep a register, whether you register a child or young person is up to you.
