What we'll do next year

Research shows that supporting deaf children during the 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, Every Moment Counts.

You can find the objectives for the first year of our new strategy below.

Objective 1: We deliver outstanding support in the early years

We will:

  • improve our engagement with audiology services to ensure more families are referred to us for support

  • influence early years standards and services for deaf children across the UK

  • review and improve the early years support we provide to families and professionals.

Objective 2: We provide life-changing information and advice

We will:

  • develop ways that help to reach families in the most convenient way for them, which we know is largely digital.

Objective 3: We build communities that unite families

We will:

  • conduct research to inform our approach to building a strong community for families.

Objective 4: We are the leading global authority on childhood deafness

We will:

  • comprehensively review our approach to working internationally and develop a plan which fits with our overarching strategic objectives and maximises our influence and impact.

Enabler 1: We transform to meet deaf children’s needs

We will:

  • continue to improve technology to support our systems and services

  • adopt an organisational structure that will support agile ways of working, with a focus on coaching to develop the skills of our people.

Enabler 2: We deliver value for money

We will:

  • support our agile way of working, by removing as much administrative burden as possible to allow our people to focus on delivering the strategy for deaf children and their families

  • continue to raise funds in the most sustainable way.
