Take action in Derby City

Please help us to fight for more specialist support for deaf children in Derby City.

Derby City council are struggling to support the rising number of deaf children in the city. Parents are concerned that a combination of staff leaving and rising case loads mean that their deaf children are missing out on vital support.

We are talking with the council about what they can do to change this. There are a range of things that you can do to join the fight for more support for deaf children. Please encourage your friends and family to support the campaign too. By working together, we can make a big difference.

Read our guide to writing to the council. This includes details of who to write to and a template letter that you can use.

Please note there is a new Director of Children's Services. We have updated our template letters to include this.

The council recently published their budget for next year and many of you commented on their plans.

Please let NDCS know if you get a reply from the Council. Thanks again, every response can make a difference for deaf children in Derby.

Please let us know if you have noticed any changes to the level of service you have received over the past year or if you think there is anything we need to be aware of.

You can email us at campaigns@ndcs.org.uk or call 0800 800 8880.

NDCS would like to keep you updated on our campaign work in Derby City and across the UK. Let us know if you would like to be added to our email list.

You may have other ideas for other ways to campaign against these reductions, which is great. If you want to take any further action, NDCS is here to support you every step of the way. Please let us know if you would like any help from NDCS on this.
