This webinar will provide headteachers, senior leaders, SENCOs, teachers and teaching assistants with information, practical advice and guidance on how to create a deaf-friendly learning environment in which the specific needs of deaf children can be met in a primary environment.

Research by The National Deaf Children’s Society identified that ‘only 1 in 20 teachers think the education system supports deaf children’, providing them with the opportunity to fulfil their potential. It also found ‘deaf children already achieve an entire grade less at GCSEs’ despite deafness not being a learning disability.

In this webinar, The National Deaf Children’s Society, the leading charity for deaf children, will offer insight into how to celebrate deaf identify, how to create a deaf-friendly learning environment and support staff to enhance wellbeing, engagement and attainment of deaf pupils.
