Deaf Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise awareness about the impact of deafness, and to encourage everyone to think about how you can ensure people who are deaf or hard of hearing are not excluded.
Action is being taken to make the Institution more inclusive for BSL users, including BSL interpreters being present where possible, delivery of BSL taster and training sessions, and the provision of quality-assured captions/transcriptions for lecturers and note takers. The University 2024-2030 BSL Action Plan will be published soon with more information.
