When families find out their child is deaf, often the first thing they worry about is the future. But we know that with the right support, deaf children can do anything other children can do. We’re here for families from the moment they find out their child is deaf, to help them give their child the support they need.

Our vision is a world without barriers for every deaf child. Since we were founded more than 70 years ago, society has come a long way. But deaf children are still falling behind at school and being let down by vital services. And they still don’t have the same opportunities as hearing children. Our ambition is that, by 2030, no deaf child will be left behind – at school, in their community or at home.

We’re here for every deaf child who needs us – no matter what their level or type of deafness or how they communicate.

We give expert support on childhood deafness, raise awareness and campaign for deaf children’s rights, so they have the same opportunities as everyone else.
