Twenty-six councils have been reported to the Information Commissioner for failing to provide details of funding for deaf children’s services. The National Deaf Children’s Society says that despite three warnings, the councils have broken the law by failing to comply with a Freedom of Information request and reveal how much has been allocated to services this financial year. It is part of the charity’s campaign to fight continuing cuts to deaf children’s services around the country. A statement said: “This silence from councils makes us fear the worst – that even more deaf children’s services will be falling under the axe this year, with parents being kept in the dark until it is too late.” Visit: www.ndcs.org.uk
