Parents and Carers

This section is designed for parents and those who share stories with children at home – babysitters, brothers and sisters, grandparents. And it will be enormously helpful for professional carers – childminders and those working in playschools and nurseries.

There’s specific advice for hearing parents with deaf children and advice in British Sign Language for deaf parents.

And there’s also a section on the benefits of using picture books and sign language at home with children with special educational needs.  

You’ll find useful links and a growing set of fun activities in the Resources section.
