Aberdeen & North East Deaf Society 4.0
The Aberdeen & North East Deaf Society was first established in 1895 and was originally known as the Aberdeen Deaf and Dumb Benevolent Society. (Please note that the terminology 'Deaf & Dumb' is no longer considered to be politically correct). With changes in legislation, local authorities became responsible for providing statutory social work services. The Aberdeen & North East Deaf Society became an agent of the local authority with a social work service agency agreement with what was then known as Grampian Regional Council, to provide a professional social work service based on local authority guidelines, for the Grampian area.
