NDCS aims to empower deaf children, young people and their families to determine what happens in their lives and shape the services they receive.

Membership is free of charge and gives full access to all areas of the website as well as other benefits, including events for families, deaf children and young people up to age 19.

We provide clear, balanced information and support for families of deaf children, deaf young people and professionals working with them. NDCS also provides free printed publications for members on a wide range of issues surrounding childhood deafness.
