Deaf Awareness Week >>> A call to industry to engage on the next generation of relay services(15-05-2012)
Relay services have made a huge difference in enabling deaf and deafblind people to access the telephone network, but the community has been left behind by advances in technology. Deaf people have the right to access telecommunications services which are functionally equivalent to those enjoyed by hearing people. Modern relay services are the only way to achieve this. >>> The Government has called on the industry to work with the deaf community and come forward with solutions which meet deaf people’s needs. >>> Full article >>> http://deafcouncil.org.uk/news/ <<<
Deaf Awareness Week >>> Petition >>> Give Deaf patients access to appropriately qualified sign language interpreters(15-05-2012)
Deaf people are routinely being put in danger by healthcare providers due to a lack of regard for standards in communication. We are calling on those commissioning healthcare services to ensure that robust procedures are in place for providing appropriately qualified sign language interpreters for Deaf patients. >>> Find out more about the research carried out by <<< Action on Hearing Loss, ASLI (Association of Sign Language Interpreters), NRCPD (National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People), BDA (British Deaf Association), SignHealth, Signature, BSMHD (British Society for Mental Health and Deafness). >>> Please Sign the petition >>> http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/deafaccess <<<
