Sheffield Child Disability Register (formerly Sheffield INDEX of Children and Young People with Disabilities)
Overview
The Child Disability Register (CDR) is a unique service for children and young people with disabilities and their families in Sheffield.
The CDR is required by law, under the Childrens Act of 1989. We register all children and young people, aged 0 to 19, who live in Sheffield and have any disability, or life altering medical condition.
Parents and carers can easily enrol their child onto the Register. We ask you to complete a short questionnaire and we then keep your details / information on a confidential, detailed computer database. The CDR aims to bring together all the registers and lists held by Health, Education and Social Services in Sheffield. We use all the 'statistics' held on the database to plan for the future across all services for children and young people with disabilities in Sheffield. No named data is given out.
In return for joining the CDR, parents will receive a copy of all the information they have provided together with a personalised letter detailing all the disability services you and your child can access across Sheffield. In addition, each child and young person will receive a unique registration card, confirming that they are now enrolled. All families on the Register will also receive regular priority copies of our popular newsletter, 'What’s Going On,' direct to their home.
