Accessibility

There have been two recent cases where the deaf community have been found to have discriminated against.

So just a reminder that if you provide services, you should be trying to make them accessible for all users.

If you routinely expect families of Deaf people to interpret at healthcare appointments:
1. Think about good clinical care, autonomy, privacy & dignity
2. & check your obligations under the equality act and NHS accessible information standard https://t.co/vfEbHpFNVO
