The aims of Deaf Parenting UK

The aims of Deaf Parenting UK, as an independent organisation are:

• To enable confidence, empowering and supporting Deaf Parents
• To highlight the gaps in services in UK
• To work with various organisations including Health, Social Services, Deaf & mainstream parenting organisations to improve access to information and services to Deaf Parents.

Also, the Deaf Parenting UK has given presentation/workshops at various conferences on local, national and international levels. We also had a Deaf Parenting Conference (May 2004) to launch the book as well as providing seminars/workshops on Deaf Parenting issues and exhibitors from Deaf and mainstream parenting organisations, which was a great success. As a result of our high profile work and reaching out to the public, we had lots of interest/ feedback from Deaf parents and professionals, requesting for more accessible information and support group for Deaf parents.
