In the UK one in six people have some degree of hearing loss. This means that you are likely to come into daily contact with people who are deaf or deafblind.
Our online deaf awareness course is aimed at organisations and individuals who want to gain an understanding of deaf awareness, gain life skills to improve their communication and improve their organisation’s accessibility.
This course is provided by Signature, the UK’s leading awarding body for Deaf communication qualifications. It has been created in partnership with The Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), who help deaf people and people with hearing loss or tinnitus with practical advice about hearing loss, tinnitus and hearing aids.
It’s important to appreciate that the way someone describes their deafness is a personal choice.
