The Uses of a Special Needs Register for People with Learning Difficulties Looking Back Over Five Years

This paper describes a Special Needs Register (SNR) for people with learning difficulties, which has been operational in Dudley for over five years. The results of a user‐survey are included. They indicate that the SNR is accessible, well‐used, up‐to‐date, and integral to the services. Suggestions for future developments are made which may be of use to those in the process of developing a register.
