Save Services for Deaf Children

Too many deaf children and their families have their hands up for help. NDCS and parents of deaf children are campaigning to save services for deaf children and make sure every deaf child has a fair chance to achieve.

Please help us save services for deaf children. We know from Stoke on Trent that local parents can make a big difference.

1)  NDCS is relying on parents to share with us ANY information they have about local services or any cuts. Visit our interactive map to share information, leave a comment below or email us at campaigns@ndcs.org.uk.
