Sign up to awareness

A NEW initiative to encourage more employees to take up deaf, disability and equality awareness is now available in Edinburgh.

Signs4Life are setting up workshops to help staff in all industries to communicate and engage with their deaf, hard of hearing, blind and partially sighted colleagues and clients.

Air Cadets, the Scottish Prison Service and Royal Mail are among those signing up to the city-based course to increase their own ability to communicate with those affected by these impairments.
