There are approximately 8.7 million people in the UK with a hearing loss, which is approximately 1 in 7 people, so the likelihood of you meeting a deaf or hard of hearing person in your workplace or local community is high.
The John Denmark Unit (JDU) in Prestwich is an inpatient unit for Deaf people – one of only three such units in the country. The Trust’s JDU is proud to deliver Deaf Awareness Training and aims to provide a more detailed understanding of deafness; deaf people, their culture, community, and language.
The course includes some fun games where you get to experience first-hand the types of communication barriers deaf people experience every day. You will have fun as you learn!
