Supporting the achievement of deaf young pople in higher education is a new NatSIP publication which has been produced by the National Deaf Children’s Society with support from the Consortium of Higher Education Support Services for deaf students (CHESS), The Ear Foundation and NatSIP.

The resource will help staff in higher education (HE) to:

• make sure that deaf students have the support they need to make good progress, take advantage of the opportunities of HE and successfully complete their studies
• take the reasonable steps required under the Equality Act 2010 (or the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) in Northern Ireland) to make sure that deaf students are not treated less favourably than other students.
