Reach - Review of National Chaplaincy for the Deaf - NCDP

27/11/2025

The Reach NCDP review team would once again like to extend a huge thanks to all members of the deaf community and others who contributed to our review of the National Chaplaincy for Deaf People.

We have been heartened to see so many people respond to our survey and attend our regional focus group meetings in Dublin, Cork Galway, Derry, Belfast, Killarney and Limerick. We also want to say a huge thanks to the current NCDP chaplains, and all the Bishops, diocesan chaplains to the deaf, and diocesan staff who helped our review.

We have now completed a draft report, which will be examined by the Review steering group, before being given to the Reach board of directors.

The report remains an internal document for the moment within Reach Deaf Services. The Board will make any decisions in relation to the report, or its executive summary.
