PC Werth Soundfield is proved to help with learning access, special needs, language development, staff health & safety, disability, building standards and academic improvement.

Soundfield is usually purchased outright by schools, or by LAs and PTAs on behalf of Schools. PC Werth have also partnered a specialist school finance company to offer schools the opportunity to rent Soundfield, smoothing cashflow and reducing payments.

Please note that all our quotes include full installation, training and support as standard. Because every installation is unique, quotes vary, but PC Werth Soundfield installations prices could start from as little as that of a new computer. For this low investment, the entire class benefits from clearer communication, as well as saving further investment in dedicated multi-media sound systems.

Schools Access Initiative (SAI)

The Schools Access Initiative (SAI) provides funding to mainstream and voluntary aided schools to make them more accessible to disabled children. It can be used to install equipment such as Soundfield to benefit hearing impaired pupils, as well as to support other capital projects that improve the accessibility of schools.

Access To Work

If you feel that your work as a teacher is affected by a voice disability that is likely to last for 12 months or more you can ask the Disability Employement Adviser (DEA) at your local Jobcentre Plus office about Access To Work. There are a variety of ways in which Access To Work can help, including special equipment (or alterations to existing equipment) to suit your particular work needs arising from your disability. PC Werth Soundfield systems can qualify under this scheme.
