The National Intellectual Disability Database (NIDD) was established in 1995 and has in excess of 25,500 registrations. The database was established to ensure that information would be available to provide appropriate services to people with an intellectual disability and their families.

An Audit of the Intellectual Disability Database has been carried out. The aim of the audit is to assess the level of accuracy of the data held on the database. The results of the Audit will be used to make recommendations on improving the accuracy and integrity of the data extracted from the NIDD. A report on the Audit will be produced in 2009.
