This report has been produced jointly by HM Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) and the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS). The aim of the publication is to report on the quality of education currently experienced by deaf children in Scottish schools, to provide examples of good practice and to identify signposts for improvement which schools can use when planning for excellence.
The guide is for teachers who have deaf pupils in their classes, whether in mainstream or specialist settings, staff in peripatetic services supporting deaf pupils, management teams in schools for the deaf, schools with units or enhanced resources for deaf pupils and mainstream schools with deaf pupils attending, and education authority officers responsible for providing services and monitoring the quality of education for deaf pupils.
