CHISWG Walsall CHISWG (Children’s Hearing Impaired Services Working Group) meets once every three months to discuss any issues that arise in our borough. The panel of people consists of, consultants, audiologists, NHSP co-ordinator, speech and language therapists,  Walsall education representatives, NDCS area managers, health visitors, social workers and parents of hearing impaired children.   It is a great opportunity for all those involved to share information, report progress and raise any concerns they have.   In the past we have managed to secure some signing sessions at the Field Mice toddler group, learned that Mr East is happy to remove wax build up from our children’s ears and set up the Walsall DCS.   Recently the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme has had its review and currently everyone is working to improve any areas which fell slightly below what was expected. On a whole though it is very pleasing to know that we have a great team of people in our area, who work hard together, to give us and our children great support.   As a parent representative on the CHISWG panel, I will be regularly updating this space with brief minutes from each CHISWG meeting. If you have any questions you would like to be put to the panel, please e-mail me via the contact’s page and I am more than happy to forward them on your behalf.
