Our School Programmes
Schools play an important role in helping young people build lifelong habits that protect their hearing and support learning. The Deaf & Hard of Hearing Foundation delivers a range of programmes directly in schools to promote safe listening, identify potential hearing concerns early, and help students stay engaged in learning.
From early childhood settings to secondary schools, we provide practical initiatives that help students understand sound, protect their hearing, and access support when needed.
Explore how our Year 9 Hearing Screening Programme, Make Listening Safe and Sound Monkey support hearing health at different stages of the school journey.
