A preview version of the 2026 CRIDE survey was disseminated to heads of specialist education services for deaf children last week. If you should have and did not receive this, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that we can check we have the right email address for your service. 

The preview version of the survey is intended to help any services that find it helpful to review the questions that will appear in the next survey. For example, some services have told us that advance notice of the survey helps them to ‘set up’ their databases in advance.

Otherwise, no action is needed at this time. Please wait until we email you the final survey in February before completing the survey.
