Register your child as disabled

We want to make sure we know how many disabled children or children with special needs (that greatly affect their everyday life) live in the city. This is something all councils have to do and it helps us improve our services now and in the future.

By being on our register we can keep you informed of what services are available and how you can get involved if you want to.

Registering a child as disabled is voluntary and free but it doesn't necessarily mean your child will be eligible for support.

How to register

Download, complete and return the registration form to the SEND Service, Ballard House, West Hoe Road, Plymouth, PL1 3BJ.

To qualify to register your child must:

be under 18 years old
live within the Plymouth City Council boundary
have a long term and significant disability:
- physical disability
- learning disability
- visual or hearing impairment
- autism (autism spectrum condition)
- chronic health condition

All your information is kept confidential and secure. Any reports we produce are used for planning and developing services and will never identify any child or family as only facts and figures are used. We can provide you with a copy of this information if you want.

For more information about registering your child as disabled please email gateway@plymouth.gov.uk or call 01752 668000.
