RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.

RNID provides high quality care and support for deaf and hard of hearing people with additional special needs. We achieve this through residential care, supported housing and community and outreach services. We also offer specialist services providing care and support to people with high level needs.

Our aims

Our aim is to maximise the quality of life of people who are deaf or hard of hearing and have additional needs. We support those using our services so that they can reach the highest possible level of independence, and be fully active and contributing members of the community rather than just "recipients of care".

Our values and principles

We are focussed on our service users. So our values and principles are based on:

  • respect and dignity for the individual
  • choice and autonomy
  • personalised, flexible services
  • participation in the way services are run
  • supporting individuals so that they can reach their highest level of independence according to their abilities
  • fulfilment of each person's capacity, whether physical, intellectual, emotional, social or spiritual.
