Deaf-friendly teaching: For further education staff

The aim of this resource is to help staff in further education:

• make effective provision for deaf students so that they make good progress and develop the independent learning and life skills they will need in adulthood
• take the reasonable steps required under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that deaf students are not treated less favourably than other students.

It does this by:

• explaining the implications of deafness on language and learning
• providing advice on how to help a deaf student make a successful transition to college
• describing the measures college staff can take to enable a deaf student to succeed.
