“In line with their Every Moment Counts strategy, the National Deaf Children’s Society are introducing new roles to support families with deaf children, particularly in the crucial early years – called Community Connectors and Early Intervention Advice and Guidance Officers (EIAGOs). Our hope is that these roles will support and complement the work already being done by other specialist professionals towards our shared goal of making sure every deaf child has the best possible start in life.
At this online event and working together with BATOD and NatSIP, representatives from the National Deaf Children’s Society will set out why these roles have been created, give examples of the collaborative work already being undertaken by staff already working in these new roles. They will also answer any questions from attendees about the new roles.
We invite Heads of Support Services and QToD colleagues to join us in the NatSIP online event, using Microsoft Teams, on Thursday 11th December from 4 to 5pm. Please make a note of the date and time in your diaries.
Thanks to NDCS, BSL Interpreters will be available at the event and automatic captions can be enabled for participants on Teams.
Further details will follow soon.”
