Deaf Awareness Training

North Wales Deaf Association's Deaf Awareness training is an essential part of induction training for staff who come into contact with the general public and also for those who work with people with a hearing loss.

Many businesses and services providers recognise the benefits of deaf awareness training courses, which are designed to give hearing people a better understanding of the needs of deaf and hard of hearing people.

A deaf awareness course will include an introduction to deafness, basic tips for improved communication techniques, finger spelling, awareness of Sign Language, basic signs and Deaf Culture as well as a brief look at the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), its implications for service providers and employers towards deaf people.

North Wales Deaf Association training packages include: Companies and service providers who invest in deaf awareness training or improve employment opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing people will be eligible to enter for our annual Deaf Aware Business of the Year Award.
