- Description
We are committed to keeping all children safe. We include deaf and disability issues in all our activities.
Research and evidence suggests that deaf and disabled children are more likely to be abused than non-disabled children, but deaf and disabled children are particularly vulnerable to abuse because:
- people find it hard to believe that anyone would abuse a deaf or disabled child
- possible signs of abuse are assumed to be related to the child’s deafness or disability.
And deaf and disabled children are:
- less likely to have people who they can communicate with
less likely to receive adequate sex education or information about their own bodies - generally more isolated, both physically and socially and also from mainstream facilities and services
- dependent on others for their most important needs, such as feeding, taking medication, intimate care needs and communication
- not offered the same protection as non-disabled children.
Please contact us if you have any concerns.
