Deaf Awareness Week: 4th – 10th May 2020

This week is National Deaf Awareness Week. The theme for this year is acquired deafness. Doncaster Deaf Trust are getting behind the week and have recently opened up their Level 1 – British Sign Language to become a free course.

This is a fantastic skill to have, and a great way to learn something new whilst in lockdown for students and parents alike.

A staggering 11 million people in the UK are deaf or hard of hearing, with hundreds of thousands of British Sign Language users.

Keep an eye out on Doncaster Deaf Trust’s social media throughout the day.

Last week our children of key workers learned how to greet someone in British Sign Language in their crew session.
