No, but it sounds interesting and I would be interested in knowing more.

Subject: Record of Disability Support requirements
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has developed a database recording local
residents with disabilities who require adjustments in the way we deal
with them - for example, having all letters in large print or Braille,
or having a BSL interpreter provided at meetings. The database is
accessible by all council staff, meaning that once a person is on the
database, they won't have to keep giving details of their needs over and
over to different council departments - my colleagues will just be able
to check the database before sending out letters, organising meetings
etc.
As far as I am aware, we are the first local authority in England to
have a database like this. Does anyone know of anything similar?
Thanks
