Help shape the new guidelines

The British Association of Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People (BATOD) has partnered with the British Society of Audiology (BSA) and the British Association of Educational Audiologists (BAEA) to update the 2020 audiology guidelines for a current day, UK wide, context.

A multidisciplinary working group made up of a wide range of educational and clinical professionals is currently revising the Audiology Assessment guidance document as a joint publication.

Two questionnaires have been developed to gather feedback and ensure the revised document is clear, practical, and genuinely supports those who will access and use it in practice. 

If you have a particular interest or experience in this area, your views would be extremely valuable in shaping the final document.

Professionals are invited to complete whichever questionnaire is most relevant to their role.

Each questionnaire takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Responses are welcome from individuals. Teams may also wish to collate ideas or set aside time to discuss and complete the questionnaire together.

A guidance document for completion of the surveys is available here.

A printable version of each survey is also available at the links below to support drafting a response ahead of submission via the Teams Form links above.

Surveys are open until 15th May 2026. 

If you have any questions, please contact exec@batod.org.uk or verity.langlands@manchester.ac.uk
