Stop Northamptonshire County Council cuts to deaf children's education
Northamptonshire County Council plan to cut vital support to deaf children in our local schools. They intend to make communication support workers redundant and shift the responsiblity directly to schools to fund and provide the support themselves. Parents have not yet been informed directly
It is a known fact that deaf children struggle to keep up with their peers in the classroom. Take away the vital support and expertise of access and communication support workers, that gap will increase.
Put pressure directly on schools to seek out and fund this expertise it will only fail.
Choose not to ask parents and children their views before starting these moves. Then we will take a stand. Help us stop this decision to cut jobs, funding and education. Help our children continue to thrive
