We are proud to be an actively anti-racist organisation and we encourage everyone to join us on this journey. It’s important that together we keep learning and building a more inclusive society. Let’s support one another during this difficult time.

It was a horrific attack in Southport leading to the deaths of three girls. Our thoughts are with all those grieving. We will continue to raise awareness of violence against women and girls and support their safety.

This is why diversity is so important within the profession. Cultural capital is so important. We need to move beyond only considering the differences between deaf and hearing cultures. Deaf people are not an homogenous group and the profession shouldn’t be either…
