Top marks for Doncaster Deaf Trust for its student provision

A specialist Trust in Doncaster is celebrating after being recognised for the quality of provision it offers its students.

Doncaster Deaf Trust’s Specialist Employability Support (SES) and Communications Specialist College Doncaster, both part of Doncaster Deaf Trust, has successfully achieved the MATRIX quality standard mark which ensures that the information, advice and guidance given to students attending the courses or training is the best that it can be.

The Trust, on Leger Way, offers education and training to young people aged 16 to 25 years who have special educational needs and/or disabilities such as deafness or hearing impairment, autistic spectrum conditions and learning disabilities and difficulties. It provides a wide range of programmes for clients with communication needs including courses for those who want to gain job and life related qualifications and those who need to gain independence and develop their social skills.
