England - 2009 NDCS Education Survey
In 2009, NDCS conducted a short survey on education provision for deaf children. The survey asked local authorities to provide information on the number and qualifications of each Teacher of the Deaf, the number of deaf children living in their area, where they attended school, levels of support provided for deaf children, use of eligibility criteria, budgets, delegation and academies.
Below are a series of briefing papers that analyse the results from this survey.
