Disability Register
The Children’s Act 1989 requires us to keep a register. The register helps us to plan and develop services for children and young people with disabilities, it helps us to know who we have and where they are. In addition to planning, the register also helps us to involve and inform families as well as keep in touch and share news and information.
To register please visit: Disability Registration Form
Why should I sign up to it?
The register is used as a means for us to keep families updated with any new developments. Once you have added your child to the register, you will receive information on the short breaks service.
This includes information on local and national services, charities and events that are relevant to children and young people with disabilities and their families.
In addition to this, you may, from time to time be sent other information from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council that is relevant to you.
If you are 5 - 17 years old and on the disability register you will also receive access to short breaks during the school holidays.
Local Offer
The Local Offer fact sheet has been produced to provide parents and carers with as much information about SEND.
You can find more information about the Local Offer and the support available on the Local Offer website.
Short Breaks
Short Breaks are available for children and young people who have additional support needs and or disabilities and are intended to have positive benefits for both children and young people and their families.

SEND Support
All educational settings, nurseries, schools, colleges and further education must make sure they meet the ‘reasonable’ special educational needs of children and young people they identify as needing extra support. Most educational settings should be able to meet the needs of the majority of children and young people with SEND.
