The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) is a charity dedicated to creating a world without barriers for deaf children and young people.
NDCS is an organisation of families, parents and carers, providing emotional and practical support through the Freephone Helpline, a network of trained support workers, their wide range of other support services and our publications and website.
As the leading provider of impartial information and individual advocacy on every aspect of childhood deafness, NDCS can help with welfare rights and benefit claims, making education choices, advising on health and audiology and technology, or simply as someone to talk to.
NDCS campaigns for improvements in services aimed at families with deaf children, working with central and local government, health authorities, education professionals, social services, manufacturers and voluntary organisations.
