Just4kids visit: I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the founder of Chloe’s & Sophie’s Special Ear Fund, Karen Jackson, and learning about how the charity is raising deaf awareness. Karen is immensely passionate about this issue, and the work she and the charity have been doing has brightened the lives of so many deaf children. You can read more about the charity and some of its latest initiatives, such as supplying clear panel facemasks to teachers working in schools for deaf children, here ([link removed]) . I look forward to learning what more the Government plans to do to support deaf people in the UK's enhanced Disability Inclusion Strategy which is being launched later this year.
