I’m Ian Noon, campaigns officer for the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) and Deaf Child Worldwide. I’ve been profoundly deaf since birth which gives me an interesting perspective on what needs to change for deaf children in the UK. It also means I have very questionable taste in music.

This photo you see to the right of the screen is indeed me, many years ago. Despite what the photo suggests, I am not the secret love child of Boris Johnson.

When I’m not stealing the biscuits in the office, I do lots of running, badminton and working on my photography. I’m also a keen backpacker and am always planning a trip away somewhere exotic.

I believe in giving something back – so I do some occasional work helping out at NDCS events and spent most of my Sundays in 2007 mentoring a 7 year old for Chance UK.

Incidentally, if any of my colleagues are reading this, my favourite biscuit is chocolate digestive. Thank you.
