We have arranged the following sessions in collaboration with St Helens Deafness Resource Centre.

The training will cover the following topics:

  • Deaf awareness

  • Working effectively with Deaf people
  • Communication strategies
  • Introduction to the British Sign Language (BSL) alphabet and basic greetings
