The West Midlands area covers Birmingham, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire.

Our Family Officer for the West Midlands is Angela Edwards (covering Birmingham, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire).

“I have lived in the West Midlands area all my life, firstly in Sandwell and then in Staffordshire. I have three children including a profoundly deaf teenage son.

“My previous role was as a communication support worker so I have experience of deafness and deaf issues from both a personal and professional perspective.

"I am really looking forward to working with you all and being involved in the local deaf groups. “

Local deaf children's societies are run by parents and carers of deaf children, working together with local health and education professionals. They give emotional and social support to families with deaf children, and give deaf children the chance to meet outside of school.

Our What's on section lists events, family days, signed and interpreted performances, and much more. 

There is a team of regional directors whose main roles are to influence key decision makers in local authorities and health services to ensure education, health, social care and other public services meet the needs of deaf children.
