Four babies are born deaf every day in the UK- many of these are born into families with little or no experience with deaf babies and children. There are over 45,000 deaf children living in the UK. Without the right support, deaf children and young people are vulnerable to isolation, abuse, bullying, poor self-esteem and low levels of achievement.
The National Deaf Children's Society is the leading charity dedicated to creating a world without barriers for deaf children and young people. The charity are there to make sure that every deaf child thrives. This means making sure they receive the best support at home, at the audiology clinic, and in their education.
