Leicester Deaf community update

What is Force 4 Change?

mosaic, Vista and Action Deafness won a contract to run a ‘User Involvement and Engagement Forum’.

It started in September 2008.

Interpreters are provided and it is about the planning and delivery of social services.

We have recently been asked why nobody from the Deaf community attends?

 The barriers faced by Deaf people are not being addressed because they are not being told about them.

The answer is simple. The Deaf didnt know about it!

Action Deafness should be ashamed of themselves.

Where are the signed DVD's telling us about it?

Where is the community liason officer telling us about it?

AD's 'seamless' communication policy strikes again! and who suffers?
