The survey will help you to assess a nursery or school’s listening environment. It can be used by parents, teacher, school leaders of Teachers of the Deaf. The survey covers: • noises outside the building • noises in the classroom when the nursery or school is empty • noises in the classroom under normal working conditions, with no children in the classroom • noises in the classroom under normal working conditions with children in the classroom.

The presentation looks at how listening conditions affect the learning environment for all children (hearing and deaf). It also discusses how you can improve the learning environment and considers the legal framework.

This resource includes examples of questions you can use to find out pupils’ opinions on listening conditions in the classroom. We haven’t used the word ‘noise’ in any of the questions as pupils may have a different concept of noise from adults. We’ve included three examples which you can use or adapt according to the individual needs of the child or young person that you’re working with. The interviews can be conducted by a parent or carer, teacher, special educational needs coordinator , teaching assistant or Teacher of the Deaf, for example.
