This week is Deaf Awareness Week (4 to 10 May 2026).
The aim is to promote deaf awareness in order to create a more inclusive society by improving access to communication for deaf and hard of hearing people.
The Royal Association of the Deaf are offering a free 30 minute online deaf awareness taster session. This will take place on 6th May at 2:30pm. Please visit: https://royaldeaf.org.uk/deaf-awareness-week-2026/

Tips for communicating with people who are deaf/hard of hearing:
- Be face-to-face.
- Check the person's preferred method of communication.
- Make sure you have the person's attention before you begin speaking.
- Make the topic of conversation clear.
- Make sure the person can see your face clearly. Make sure the room is well-lit. Make sure there is no light behind the person speaking (for example, don't stand with your back to the window or the sun).
- Speak clearly but don't slow down, shout or exaggerate your speech.
- Speak one at a time.

Join a free 30-minute Deaf awareness session this week. Help your team communicate confidently and improve accessibility in your organisation.
