It might help to include some statistics which highlight the work of AVUK. You can link MPs to our facts and figures here- https://www.avuk.org/facts-and-figures

However, if you’d like to mention some yourself here are some key examples:

 

  • 80% of all children who spend at least two years on our programme achieve age-appropriate language.

.

  • 97% of children without additional needs on our programme achieve at least age-appropriate language.

.

  • AVT is a cost-effective approach. For every £1 invested in AVUK’s early intervention programme there is a £4 return on that child’s future.

.

  • There are approximately 7,200 deaf children under the age of 5 in the UK

.

  • They currently face the prospect of lower academic achievement, lower employment, and are at higher risk of poor mental health, bullying and social exclusion.

.

  • When children and families have access to effective, early support, deaf children can get an equal start at school and opportunities transformed.
