We are The British Association of Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People - Promoting Excellence in Deaf Education. Welcome!
BATOD is the sole professional association for Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People in the UK. The Association represents the interests of Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People and the children and young people they teach with a range of Government and other agencies. The Association supports Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People and organises CPD courses and national and regional meetings to provide relevant up-to-date information and to disseminate good practice. BATOD produces a magazine four times per year and a refereed Journal (Deafness and Education International) four times per year. Strong links are maintained between BATOD and Government and voluntary bodies, especially the NDCS, and the Association plays a key role in NatSIP, to contribute to policy development in this field.
