A strong partnership between home and school plays a vital role in supporting d/Deaf children and young people.
When families, educational settings and specialist services work together, children benefit from consistent approaches that support their communication, wellbeing and learning.
Sharing information and celebrating progress helps us to understand and meet each child's needs effectively.
Below you will find resources designed to support families, schools and other professionals in working together to achieve the best outcomes for d/Deaf children and young people.

Below is a YouTube video that may help when discussing deaf identity with younger children, although it could also be suitable for some older children depending on their individual needs and level of understanding.
It can also be a useful resource for schools, particularly when exploring themes such as belonging, inclusion and identity. While the video focuses on deaf identity, it can encourage wider discussions about personal identity and what makes each person unique.
