The NDCS Summary of survey results about resource provisions for deaf children - 2024 has been published on the NDCS website

Deaf children and people with experience of childhood deafness from across the UK have come together to highlight what matters most to children affected by deafness and hearing loss, as part of a project funded by the National Deaf Children’s Society and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

On September 18th they published the two Top 10 research priority lists in Childhood Deafness and Hearing Loss! You can find the official press release from NDCS here: https://www.ndcs.org.uk/about-us/news-and-media/deaf-children-share-insights-what-researchers-should-study-next [ndcs.org.uk]

Alongside sharing the results, they have also announced the launch of the exciting legacy group Childhood Deafness Research Network, which will bring people together to address the research priorities on childhood deafness that were identified. Here are the links to the network and the two lists of Top 10 priorities:

What is CRIDE?

 

CRIDE brings together a range of people from different backgrounds who all have a common interest in using data to improve provision for deaf children. The Committee receives no funding for its work, and its members give their time voluntarily.

Almost half of the members have a background as, either a current or former head of a specialist education service for deaf children. These members play an important role in advising on whether the questions are appropriate and reasonable for other services to answer.

The remainder are academics, heads of special schools, consultants and representatives from the British Association of Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People (BATOD) and the National Deaf Children’s Society.

In Scotland, a separate working group leads on the CRIDE Scotland survey with links to the UK-wide group, so that the surveys are parallel.

The survey has now run uninterrupted since 2011. It was created as a successor to the surveys run then by BATOD. Paul Simpson, as their National Executive Officer, played a leading role in establishing CRIDE and we are grateful for the legacy he has left us.

The CRIDE 2022 England report is now on the BATOD website at https://www.batod.org.uk/information/cride-reports/ and on the NDCS website https://www.ndcs.org.uk/cride

The CRIDE 2020 reports for England and Wales on education support for deaf children have just been published. These and previous reports can be downloaded from the National Deaf Children’s Society website at: www.ndcs.org.uk/CRIDE or from the BATOD website at:  https://www.batod.org.uk/information/cride-reports/

As expected, given the events of the past year, the 2020 reports don’t have the same range of data as in previous years. However, there is still lots of useful and valuable data in there and we remain very grateful for everyone’s support of CRIDE.

The full set of CRIDE reports for 2019 has now been published and can be seen here on the BATOD website: https://www.batod.org.uk/information/cride-reports/

The final reports from the 2017 CRIDE survey, ie the Scotland report and the UK-wide summary report, have been published today (13th September 2018) and can be found here:
