Deaf Awareness Training

Are you aware of the new Equality Act 2010?  Did you know that under the new Equality Act 2010 a ban on direct discrimination will now apply to many more areas, for example, customers’ access to goods and services?

Don’t get caught out!  Take action now to ensure that your company or service is disability friendly.

Deaf Awareness workshops are packed full of information about Deafness, communications tactics, sign language and lip reading.  The training will engage and entertain whilst providing a valid and valuable learning tool.

All our workshops are taught by our experienced Deaf tutors, accompanied by an interpreter and we can arrange either full or half day training courses.
