Refuge's National Domestic Abuse Helpline is now accessible for deaf and partially sighted women. Share to spread the word. nitter.cf/RefugeCharity/status/1…
“Throughout the pandemic, Deaf women have not been able to access services via telephone helplines. This has added more barriers for Deaf women to come forward and ask for support....” – @SignHealth’s Marie Vickers on our #BSL service @SignHealthDA nationaldahelpline.org.uk/en…

Happy news: the Oscar winning “The Silent Child” staring Maisie Sly - who is six years old, profoundly deaf and from Swindon- will be shown on BBC1 at 19:40 on Good Friday (March 30th). @SilentChildFilm @RachelShenton @overton54
A fascinating evening representing @DeafAcademy for the Women in Science @ActionOnHearing event - brilliant and inspiring

Great to see letter in Times today from @NDCS_UK @SilentChildFilm crew and @SlyGilson family - action, not warm words, needed from Government on BSL GCSE

The Government's refusal to back a GCSE in British Sign Language is not only doing a great disservice to deaf schoolchildren, it is much, much more – it is insulting them.

A disappointing response from the minister this afternoon - a British Sign Language GCSE will not be approved any time soon.
MPs rightly mentioned that next week is #SignLanguageWeek so the fight for equality will continue!

Let's celebrate diversity. Disability is Diversity.
Retweet this or even better, take a picture like Maisie
