This free deaf awareness training for staff from voluntary and community organisations is sponsored by the Department of Culture, Arts & Leisure, and delivered by Action on Hearing Loss.

This is the last chance for community and voluntary organisations to avail of free deaf awareness training, sponsored by DCAL and delivered by Action on Hearing Loss. The final session of the 2013/14 programme takes place in Belfast. It can cater for up to 20 delegates, who are requested to register in advance.

Action on Hearing Loss has been supporting people who are deaf or have hearing loss for over 100 years. One in six people in the UK have some kind of hearing loss - that’s 10 million people. In Northern Ireland there are 300,000 people with hearing loss.

Improving deaf awareness and accessibility has many benefits. It will open up an organisation to people with hearing loss, enhance brand equity, improve customer service and help meet the legal requirements of equality legislation and accessible design.

This introductory training aims to create an awareness and understanding of the communication needs of people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and the various methods of communication support available. Delegates will also have the opportunity to learn some basic sign language. The course will run for two hours.

If you would like to book a delegate from your organisation on the course, or if you have any queries, please get in touch with Liz via the contact details shown opposite.
