Scoping Study, Part 4 – Other professionals: national shortages

Concerns were raised over national shortages of some staff, particularly:

• BSL/English interpreters (all sectors, but biggest impact in F&HE);
• educational audiologists (school sector);
• deaf professionals, particularly within services supporting mainstream provision (all sectors).

A dearth of specialist support tutors for deaf students was also indicated within the F&HE sector.
