Our Strategic Plan has 6 priorities and 15 aims which are detailed below. The plan will be reviewed on an annual basis to measure progress and impact through each priority and aim. In between the annual review, progress is monitored and measured so that adjustments and changes can be made where necessary to ensure flexibility in the plan to changing circumstances. You can read our plan by clicking on the link below.
If you think that you can support us with the achievement of our plan and if you would like to contribute to it then please contact the Trust on; enquiries@ddt-deaf.org.uk OR 01302 386700
