Deafness

More than a third of UK adults have admitted to having some of the signs of hearing loss, and yet the vast majority do not get a hearing check.

Charities are calling for more support for deaf pupils, saying there is no reason why they should not be able to achieve the same grades as their classmates.

Staff and members of the Deaf community feel "anxious" to return to the Kendal and Barrow offices after vandals targeted the office spaces.
