Season's Greetings from all at NatSIP

At the end of another busy year the NatSIP steering group wish you a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you to for your support of NatSIP during 2025 and for all you do for children and young people with deafness, multi sensory and vision impairment.  
We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at events in 2026.

NDCS has updated the briefing note on what government figures say on the attainment of deaf children in England, from the Early Years Foundation Stage to Key Stage 4. The briefing note now includes figures from last year.

The briefing note can also be accessed via www.ndcs.org.uk/data.

By way of reminder, government figures only capture deaf children if they have been formally identified as having a special educational need (i.e. those at SEN support level or who have an EHC plan). These figures also exclude those where deafness is not the primary need. These figures should therefore be used with caution. They are, however, the best figures that are publicly available that we at NDCS are aware of.
