BACKGROUND: Meeting the needs of deaf children and their families is multidisciplinary. Models of multi-agency working are diverse, and there is little evidence on outcome for family and child. Effective collaboration is an essential part of multi-agency working, and how this is achieved is an area that warrants research. METHODS: An approach was developed to identify family needs using a need identification tool called a Family Needs Survey (FNS) in conjunction with a multi-agency meeting. The FNS was introduced in a pilot study to involve parents of deaf children with services and to identify their needs from their perspective. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: A clear pathway was determined for application of the FNS. A model of multi-agency working was developed that involves families directly with different services at one time. Outcomes were measured by uptake of the FNS, parental attendance at multi-agency meetings, and completion of a parent evaluation questionnaire. Discussion of the FNS at a multi-agency meeting facilitates communication between professionals and between professionals and parents. There is some evidence that the FNS may be a useful tool. The majority of parents completed a FNS before multi-agency meetings and have indicated they are happy to share the information with other professionals.
