Exciting new resources

Calling all grandparents, fathers and siblings!

As part of the All Together project, we've been given the exciting opportunity to produce new resources for families.

We're inviting grandparents, fathers and siblings of deaf children living in England to get involved and have their stories and experiences included in these new resources. We'll be producing five booklets and one DVD. 

We're looking for grandparents to share with us their experiences of having a deaf grandchild.

This could be a poem or short story you've written about your experiences. It might be some useful tips you would like to share with other grandparents.

This booklet wll be written by grandparents for grandparents.

We are looking for fathers to share with us their experiences of having a deaf child.

This could be a poem or short story you've written about your experiences. It might be some useful tips you would like to share with other fathers and their families.

This booklet will be written by fathers for fathers. 

We would like siblings aged six years old and above to get involved in creating our new sibling booklets.

We will be producing three booklets which we have outlined below. The age groups are six to nine years old, 10 to 14 years old and 15-plus years old

Six to nine years old
Share with us why its great having a deaf brother/sister. We want to make a booklet made of your handprints and your stories, poems and pictures. Send in your handprint (you can do this by using paint but check with an adult first) and on a separate piece of paper your poem or story or happy thought on why it's great having a deaf brother/sister.

10 to 14 years old
Share with us your experiences of having a deaf brother/sister. Send us poems, stories or drawings.

15-plus years old
We are inviting siblings 15 years old and older to have their say on having a deaf brother or sister by answering a few quick questions (see below). Once you've done that, please send them in to us. We'll try to include all responses in the booklet.

If you have any useful tips/advice you want to share with other siblings, send these in too. 

If you have any further questons or have something you would like us to include in the booklets, please send to:
