Have you ever thought that you could be passing or coming into contact with someone daily who is deaf, has lost their hearing, relies on sign language or is deafblind without even realising it. In the UK, one in six people have some degree of hearing loss. That’s around 10 million people. Around 250,000 use British Sign Language (BSL) as their main or preferred communication language. Equally, it is also estimated that there are around 250,000 people who are deafblind or have sensory impairments.
Would you like to better understand the barriers that deaf people face? Would you like to provide a better service for your staff, colleagues or customers? Are you looking to take your first steps to learning about deafness and sign language? Why not sign up for our accredited Signature Level 1 Award in Deaf Awareness and Communication or one of our bespoke programmes.
