1. Deaf awareness week
Approximately 9 million people in the UK have a hearing loss.
This is approximately 19% of the total population or 1 in every 7 people.

2. HOW CAN WE HELP?
When speaking to someone who is hearing impaired, make sure that you:
Face them
Make sure your mouth is visible
Don’t give up and say ‘I’ll tell you later’
Cue in attention
Cut out the background noise…

3. Our Classrooms
Our classrooms are places of work and should be quiet and purposeful. Help those hard of hearing by only talking when directed by the teacher.
