Disabled children's Information & Database
Welcome to Sefton's Disabled Children's Information
Database
What is the database for?
To provide families of disabled children with information on
local and national services.
It is also an opportunity to collect information
to help with the planning of local services.
How do I know if my child should be registered?
If your child has a learning, physical, sensory or
communication difficulty, chronic illness or medical condition and
consequent/associated emotional or behavioural difficulty.
The categories of disability on the data collection form
are:
- Developmental Delay,
- Physical Disability,
- Chronic Illness/Medical condition,
- Learning Disability,
- Hearing Impairment,
- Visual Impairment,
- Communication Difficulties.
Why should I put my child's details on the database?
- You will receive an information pack, which will provide you
with details of current services in Sefton, including statutory and
voluntary agencies.
- You will be kept informed about changes in services, new
services and other helpful information via a newsletter produced by the Co-ordinator.
- Agencies involved in the provision of services will gain a
better understanding of what type of services are needed now and in
the future.

Database Co-ordinator by phone, email or complete the attached
