For Deaf Awareness Week 2010 RNID is getting involved in a whole host of activities and initiatives, which include:
• Launching their new research on the effect of hearing loss on relationships. ‘In it together’ (due to be released 28.06.10) examines how partners and families can better support loved ones with a hearing loss.
• Asking you to tell your ‘Dos and Don’t tips’ to make the people you meet day to day more deaf aware. You can email them with your thoughts and suggestions or get in touch via Twitter or Facebook .
• Advising businesses about how to be more deaf aware. They will be sending businesses their handy information packs with information on Louder than Words charter mark, Deaf and Disability Awareness Training and Start to Sign courses.
• Working with larger organisations. They’ll be meeting with large corporate companies such as Southern Railway and BT, to look at how they are improving deaf awareness in the workplace.
