Rolle House
Rolle House is a registered Therapeutic Children’s Home specialising in caring for children and young people aged between 5 and 17 years who are Deaf or hard of hearing and have complex needs.
We can offer a safe and friendly home for up to four young people at any given time. We thoroughly assess every potential young person moving into the home against a robust impact risk assessment. This ensures the best possible opportunity for a successful move into the home for the individual, and those already living in the home.
About our communication
A young person’s behaviour will communicate their needs, wants, wishes and desires.

Meet the Team
Connie Webb, Deputy Manager
I live in Exmouth where I grew up and attended school. I enjoy being outdoors and especially getting in the sea!
I love learning and my position at Rolle House lets me do that every day! I love seeing the progress of our amazing young people and feel honoured that I get to support them on their transition to adulthood.
James Heaver, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Responsible Individual
I make sure that children who live there are safe, well looked after and have a great time! I have worked with Deaf Children for 15 years and love working at the Deaf Academy!
I live in Exeter and have two children who are 10 and 8 years old. In my spare time I like spending time with my children, friends and family and being outdoors having fun.
I also really like going to the cinema, but Disney films often make me cry

Staff stories
I’ve really connected with the Deaf young people here and I’ve forgotten all about IT now! I’ve fully embraced working here.
There are lots of benefits to the training and I think it’s really worth it for me, working here.
