Nationwide Search For Stars in Deaf Communication is Launched

The hunt is on to reward people in the UK and Ireland who have done most to overcome the communication barriers deaf people face in everyday life.

Signature Chief Executive, Jim Edwards, said: "Signature promotes excellence in communication with deaf and deafblind people so our vision of a society in which deaf people have full access can become a reality.

"The Signature Annual Awards are about rewarding champions in deaf communications. They are designed to bring recognition to people who have excelled in delivering the goal of greater understanding of deaf and deafblind people and the languages and communication methods they use.

"We strongly urge everyone to help make the awards a celebration to remember, in the first instance by nominating individuals and organisations that have gone the extra mile for the cause."
