Every Moment Counts: our 2023 to 2028 strategy

For all children the early years are a crucial time, but for deaf children this is even more true given the impact deafness can have on language development, communication and social skills.

It’s clear that supporting deaf children during those early years is where we can make the biggest impact and set them up for life. The evidence is so compelling that it forms the basis of our 2023 to 2028 strategy.

Our new five-year plan is all about making every moment count – from the time a child’s deafness is identified to their first day at school and beyond. We’re here to transform the futures of as many deaf children and young people as possible, in the UK and around the world.

Join us in our fight to deliver change where it matters most.
