CHSWG
Have you ever heard of CHSWG (pronounced chizzywig)? - You haven't? The initial's stand for:
Childrens Hearing Services Working Group
Our local group is called Dorset Children's Hearing Services Working Group.
​
It is a working group made up of people representing all the services involved supporting hearing impaired children, including Audiologists, Hearing Support Service, Teachers of the Deaf, Speech and Language Therapists, Community Paediatricians, ENT, School Nurse, Health Visitors, NDCS, Social Services and parents. It meets twice a year and is an opportunity for all the services to highlight any problems and to keep up to date with each other.
​
CHSWG is a forum for YOU - the parents of hearing impaired children to be able to voice any issues you have and this is done through your parent representative.
​
Your DDCS representative is:
​
Shirley Sorbie - 01202 571089
​
Your parent representatives are:
​
Juliet Viney - 07890 261933
