NDCS offers free training to make clubs more deaf-friendly

1 min read Health Youth Work
A free training programme has been launched in an attempt to make leisure clubs more accessible to deaf children.

A new project set up by the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) called Me2, is inviting representatives from all local youth and leisure clubs in England to a free training programme.

The programme called Making Activities Deaf Friendly, will take place this month and next in Birmingham, London and Manchester and will target organisations including the Scouts, Girl Guides, sport clubs and art clubs.

The one-day course will help local clubs adapt their activities to ensure that deaf children can enjoy full access and are able to communicate effectively.

It will offer participants an opportunity to attend a series of interactive workshops on topics such as deaf awareness, communication, health and safety, and deaf friendly games.
