DEAF AWARENESS TRAINING

Many organisations will be aware of the recent Disability Discrimination Act which came into effect on 1st October 2004. The Act specifies that organisations and businesses should be putting into place facilities to ensure that disabled persons are not discriminated against, by ensuring that their services are equally accessible to disabled people in the same way as non-disabled people.

We are able to offer assistance in this respect in the following ways:

Deaf Awareness Training

This training will assist your staff members to fully meet the needs of deaf and hard of hearing clients that may require your services. The courses can either take place in-house or at one of your three centres. The course will be structured to meet your individual needs as a company or organisation, taking into account the various services you offer and situations you might encounter. We can provide 1 hour, 3 hours (half day) and 6 hours (full day) of training. For staff members attending the half day and full day courses and Attendance Certificate will be awarded. The full day can be split into two separate sessions on convenient days to suit your organisation as we are aware that it is not always possible to have staff away from their duties for a full day.

Communication Support

If you already employ a deaf or hard of hearing person we can offer communication support. It is important that your employee is able to access training and health and safety inductions and fully understand the situation. Communication support can also be helpful in many other employment situations that may arise during employment

BSL Sign Language and Communication Clubs

We are able to offer sign language clubs for your employees who may wish to improve their signing skills to gain an accredited British Sign Language qualification.

Access for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People

We are able to offer advice on equipment and lay-out such as loop systems and specialist telephone equipment and other items that may enable deafened and hard of hearing people access your services more easily, as well as assisting your employees to carry out their duties.

Our Trainers

Our trainers and staff are fully qualified in their field and, as you can see, the Association has been awarded the Community Legal Service Quality Mark to ensure that all our services are of the highest standard and are regularly monitored.

If you would like to book any of our services or arrange tailor-made specialist services to meet your needs, please contact Gerry on 01273 671899 or email info@sussexdeaf.com who will be happy to help you.
