Coventry Parent Partnership Service

What is the Children Act 1989 and how does it affect my child?

The Children Act 1989 required all local authorities to establish a register of children with a disability in their area. This will then be used to assist service planning to meet the needs of children with disabilities and their families. Children's names are added to the register at their parent's request, and in return parents can receive information about services available in their area.

For further information about the register please contact the Children's Disability Team.
