Deaf awareness week 6th - 12th May 2024
The deaf awareness week 2024 led by UKCoD will focus on “love and Trust” and their impacts on raising awareness of deaf people’s communication and information requirements and their rights of equal access to tools and services.
It is exciting that the Department of health and care published the plan for the NHS in compliance with the Reasonable Adjustment digital flag on 25.3.2024. Healthwatch County Durham is leading the review of the Accessible information standard requirements poster locally. Please get in touch with them with your comments.
There are a couple of events and meetings leading to the week in May.
- Deaf mental health conference in Newcastle 8/5/2024.
- A small group is to explore a digital project around deaf heritage in Tees Valley to continue the momentum of raising deaf awareness for the next 12 months
