deafThe University of Manchester’s Audiology and Deafness team is conducting a study, to improve sex education taught to deaf pupils. The researchers hope their findings will be more accessible for deaf children and, at a later stage, they plan to devise a fun, non-threatening computer game to explore how much children know about issues related to growing up.

Teaching sex and relationship education to deaf children is very challenging, but it is important. Children with hearing disability are more vulnerable to abuse because they may not recognise inappropriate behaviour or their boundaries. Researcher are encouraging parents of both deaf and hearing children to take part in this research.
