Ynys Môn MP Virginia Crosbie met with representatives from the National Deaf Children’s Society at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester on Tuesday, October 5th.
The group discussed some of the key issues facing deaf children, including the challenges they’ve faced during the pandemic and how schools can support them effectively during the new academic year.
They also talked about British Sign Language.
Jo Campion, Deputy Director at the National Deaf Children’s Society, said:
“It was really good to meet Virginia and explain some of the challenges deaf children have been facing because they’ve been seriously affected during the pandemic.
“Meetings like this give us the chance to explain the key issues directly to MPs and move closer towards a world without barriers for every deaf child.”
