The Consortium for Research into Deaf Education (CRIDE) has this week published the reports from the 2023 surveys of educational staffing and provision for deaf children.
These are available on BATOD and National Deaf Children’s Society websites at the following links:

We hope to publish a UK-wide summary of the reports early in the new year.

Unfortunately it has not proved possible to secure the necessary funding for the NatSIP Outcomes Benchmarking exercise to be carried out in the current academic year. Notification will be made should there be any prospect of running the OB exercise in the future.
A big thank you is expressed to all those services that have supported the NatSIP Outcomes Benchmarking over the last eight years.

NatSIP has been working with Local Authority services nationally to collect and analyse outcomes data of children and young people with sensory impairments in mainstream schools, since 2011. This annual exercise has grown and since 2015 there are over 100 participating services. The overall aim of the OB collection exercise is to improve provision and outcomes for children and young people with sensory impairments. There are three elements, for children with hearing impairment, multi sensory impairment and vision impairment.
The first release reports of the last excercise (2017 -18) were circulated to participating services on 25th June and the summary report will be available from September. Services are provided with rich data which gives valuable information about their CYP and enables them to benchmark their provision against other services submitting data.
Until this year NatSIP has been able to undertake this valuable exercise through DfE grants and contracts. The focus of government during 2018 - 19 is to further support children with SEND through the Schools' Workforce contract, led by Nasen and UCL and NatSIP is a partner within this consortium.
This year The Ovingdean Hall Foundation has, through grant funding, enabled the start of a NatSIP-CRIDE longitudinal study for children and young people with hearing impairment. This project represents collaborative working between NatSIP, University College London, City, University of London, and CRIDE (the Consortium for Research in Deaf Education) and the 2018 data collection has already commenced.
Whilst the SEND 2018-19 contract does not lend itself to SI data collection NatSIP and DfE are actively seeking to identify funding which will enable the VI and MSI elements of the outcomes benchmarking exercise to continue without a gap. If we are successful we hope that we will be in a position to ask services to submit data from September.

As in previous years, a Final Release of the reports will be prepared and circulated by the start of the autumn term 2018 which will include the DfE exclusions data (expected to be published on 19 July 2018) and any amendments required following feedback from services regarding changes to their data.

The CRIDE 2016 reports for England, Wales and Northern Ireland are now finished and have been published on the BATOD website at http://www.batod.org.uk/index.php?id=/resources/survey and on the NDCS website at www.ndcs.org.uk/CRIDE. The UK-wide summary will be ready later this month.
An updated 2015 report for England and UK summary have also been published to address some errors, particularly in terms of numbers of Teachers of the Deaf, that came to light when we received responses to the 2016 survey. These are also on the BATOD and NDCS websites.
