Disabled Children's Record


All Local Authorities must have a record of disabled children and young people in their area. It is your choice if you want to be a part of this record.

The benefits

  • we can send you news and updates about Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) services
  • it lets us see where people with SEND live and helps us plan services

Things to know

  • your record is not linked to any other register
  • it will not affect entitlement to services or benefits
  • being on the DCR does not automatically entitle your child to services

How to register

To access the DCR you will need to create an account on the Family Information Service website. Once registered, you can view or update your account at any time.
