Early Years Support for children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.

Overview

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust Children's Hearing Services Network Group (CHSWG) is a group of Parents and Professionals who meet to discuss the needs of children who are Deaf and/or Hard of Hearing. The group includes parents,  representatives from Health including Consultant ENT, Audiology, Speech and Language Therapy, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (Deaf CAHMS), Health Visiting and Social Services; Education including Teachers of the Deaf and Jordanstown School and Voluntary Agencies including Action Deaf Youth, National Deaf Children's Society and British Deaf Association.

We are inviting feedback on the support you and your child received in the early years.

This will inform and shape our planning for early years support for children who are Deaf or hard of hearing and their families.

Why your views matter

Your views and experiences matter.  We would welcome any feedback you have about the care you and your child received in the early years so we can plan and provide the best possible care going forward.
