PROPOSED STATEMENT OF RIGHTS FOR DEAF AND HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES
This draft statement is offered to the Association for consideration. The proposal is that the BAEA should present this statement to the Government to accept as a requirement for Local Authorities and hearing aid providers. It could be supported by known examples where deaf children have had very poor or bad service from hospitals or Authorities, where advice from an Educational Audiologist has not been sought or taken. Peter Keen has offered to approach other interested parties eg NDCS to see if a joint presentation of this idea is possible.

Feedback from members is encouraged. Please send your thoughts to Peter Keen at: peter.keenhearing@btinternet.com
