Deaf awareness week may be ending, but the conversation shouldn’t. Let’s keep learning, pushing for progress and supporting the deaf community all year round.

Communication tips:

1. Respect how someone prefers to communicate

2. Always face the person directly and use eye contact.

3. Speak clearly, not louder.

4. Don't cover your mouth.

5. Use gestures and visuals

6. Learn key BSL signs such as:
Hello/Goodbye
Thank you
How are you/
Please/Thank you
Sorry

British Sign Language (BSL) is a language that is used by tens of thousands of people across the UK.
