Spectrum Membership

Complete our free and simple registration

Our membership is free and is required to access Spectrum services in the UK, like requesting places at our events, accessing our Family Support, as well as the Max Card.

Once we have processed your form, we will provide you with a dedicated Spectrum Membership number. We will also keep you up to date with all our latest information, news and events.

In registering with us, we can ensure you are covered under our insurance and that we are aware of all your child’s needs. We cater for any child from pre-birth, where a diagnosis is made antenatally, up to 18 years old. Any child with additional needs is welcome, even if you have just started the diagnosis journey with their GP/Education setting and don’t have a formal diagnosis yet. As a registered Spectrum member, you can access our Support from the comfort of your home.

Spectrum is all about inclusion and a family focus, so the child’s parents/carers and their siblings are very welcome at the events and sessions we provide.

All information you provide to us is for the Spectrum team’s attention only and will not be shared with any other members or third parties. Spectrum reserves the right to request further information to help validate your membership request at any time.

If you have any questions concerning our Spectrum membership form, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We Are In A High Demand Period

Current Processing Schedule - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

We are experiencing a high-demand period, with several hundred requests arriving daily, so our typical processing time is now well beyond the norm. As a guideline only, high-demand periods can extend processing time from 30 days to 120-180+ working days.

If your submission contains errors or additional information is needed, this will also add further time to the processing of your request. The team is working through all requests received as quickly as possible, in the order in which they were received.

There is no need to contact us to check in or get an update. If you have received a copy of the submission you submitted, you have landed in our systems for processing. We are unable to provide individual updates or expected completion dates during high-demand periods. Thank you.

During a high-demand period, well over 3000+ families will already be ahead of you in our queuing system when you make your submission, sometimes even closer to double this.

Easter Break

No Processing

Please note that Spectrum is closed for the Easter Bank Holiday and will also have reduced processing until April 13th due to the school holidays. Thank you.

If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Spectrum management team, either personally or by email, should you prefer.
