West Sussex Disability Register (0-25)

Welcome to the West Sussex Disability Register (0-25)

West Sussex County Council collects information about children and young people age 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to help plan and deliver their services.

Parents, carers and young people who share their information will be helping the County Council and other local agencies to have a better understanding of the needs of local children, young people and their families

The form can be completed by a parent or carer on behalf of a child or young person, or anyone aged 13 or over can complete the form by themselves with help if needed.

All of the information we collect will be stored securely and any information shared will not include names or personal details of individual people, but just general anonymised data.

The form needs to be completed for each person with SEND in a household or family but it will only take about ten minutes to complete. We will be asking for contact details and also information about education, travel and health (including the name and address of your GP), but we don't need any detailed information.

Who can sign up to the register?

Young people between 0 and 25 years old who have a disability.

By a disability we mean

• Something that has a big effect on your day to day life

• Every day things might take more time, effort, planning or support

• You might need to do things differently or need more help than most other people your age

• Something you live with for life or have had for a long time

Alternative Formats: If you require any of the information for this project in an alternative format or would like to arrange an appointment for us to help you complete the form, please email us at countylibraries@westsussex.gov.uk or phone 01243 642111 and we will do our best to assist you.
