Safeguarding deaf and disabled children

A resource for use in training and professional group learning

This resource will help everyone who works with children know how they can safeguard deaf and disabled children more effectively.

Buy from NSPCC Publications

It will be particularly relevant to professionals in education, health, children’s social services, the police and the justice system, whether their area of expertise is safeguarding or disability or deafness.


Safeguarding deaf and disabled children aims to raise awareness about the additional vulnerability of deaf and disabled children to abuse and neglect.

The DVD contains:

• an information film about why deaf and disabled children are at greater risk of abuse and how we can safeguard them more effectively
  
• eight short scenarios – people expressing concerns
  
• two longer, dramatised scenarios – Kayleigh’s story and Anil’s story
  
• interviews with professionals reflecting on the films and the issues they raise.

Sample clip: Why deaf and disabled children are at greater risk of abuse

The films are supported by prompt sheets to guide trainers and facilitators in using each of the scenarios and handouts on key issues.
