Raising Awareness in England and Wales
| Course Description | Objectives | Prices | CACDP Course |
If
you are likely to be in contact with the general public or work with
staff who are deaf or hard of hearing then this course is aimed at you.
It will focus on some of the key issues relating to deafness, communication
tactics and help deepen your understanding of how access for deaf people
can be improved. The training is interactive and stimulating and will
allow trainees to practice their communication skills. Your tutors are
deaf themselves.
This course will be adapted to meet the needs of our clients. For example, if you work in the education sector we may give examples of discrimination and scenarios that could occur in a college, university or school.
This can be held as a full day (5 hours + 1 hour lunch break) or as a half day course (3 hours).
