A new initiative to encourage more employees, students and volunteers to take up sign language as an extra language and skill is now available in Bath.
Award winning Signs4Life are showcasing this local initiative to help people to communicate and engage with their colleagues, service users and clients who may have hearing impairments.
“You never know when you will come into contact with a client, a colleague or member of the public who is autistic, deaf or visually impaired.
“There are over 9 million deaf and hard of hearing people registered in the UK. We are working with organisations as varied as Specsavers, The British Red Cross, prisons, supermarkets, museums, schools and hospitals.
“Each of our workshops help you comply with the Disability Discrimination Act and Equality Acts 2010 and encourage a ‘can do’ approach to the 12 million people in the UK who have a physical, sensory or learning disability,” explained Ms Sara Phillips, Signs4Life tutor.
