Consortium for Research in Deaf Education (CRIDE) reports

CRIDE is a consortium that brings together a range of organisations and individuals with a common interest in using research to improve the educational outcomes achieved by deaf children.

CRIDE produces reports based on its annual surveys of educational staffing and service provision for deaf children. These reports are intended for heads of services, policy makers in local and central government and anyone with an interest in deaf education.
