National Deaf Children’s
Society
The
National Deaf Children's Society was founded in
London on 15 December 1944 by a handful of
parents of deaf children concerned about the
impact of the 1944 Education Act on their
schooling. They believe that:
-
Every deaf child has the right to the same
opportunities as a hearing child
-
Every deaf child has the right to be
included and valued by society
-
Families have the right to make informed
choices on behalf of their deaf child and
for those choices to be implemented
-
Families have the right to clear and
balanced information and support, delivered
in a way that is accessible to them
Who for:
Young people with hearing impairment, their
families and friends
