Since Covid-19 hit our lives, language support professionals have worked through an incredible transition to work virtually. Big shout out to all of our LSPs ensuring deaf people can continue to work, learn, and access communication without barriers 🙌

It is #StarWarsDay so we got a message from our very own stormtrooper signing #May4thBeWithYou #DeafAwarenessWeek #DAW2020
Ever wondered what a Lipspeaker is? What we do? How we could support you at work, hospital appointments & other in environments? 🧐 Below is a demonstration I prepared in 2016 for lipspeaking students at @Signforthoughts & @LipspeakerUK - can you work out what I’m relating? 🤓
Do you mean like this? We may need your expertise Lou 🤓 #Lipspeaking #Examples #BumbleBees #CanYouFollow ❓❓❓

(3/3) That leaves 2 conclusions– @fcot was aware of the student's needs, yet allowed her to enrol knowing that it would deny the help to get her fees OR @fcot cares so little about its students’ welfare and success on the courses that it doesn’t care to offer the support needed.

(2/3) Does this reveal that @fcot is more worried about costs and profit v loss, over the education and welfare of its Deaf students? Would the College do the same thing for students with other learning difficulties? No - because it would NOT be acceptable.

(1/3) How much is a student's welfare and education worth? @fcot has denied a Deaf student the support she needs based on the cost of that support - despite already accepting her tuition fees and being aware of the support that was needed before the student enrolled.
This was so interesting and I'm looking forward to putting these skills into practice! #signlanguage #community #999sign #newskills
Today we had our second deaf awareness session with @Rushmoor02 - focussing on lots of signing and fingerspelling. Wishing you all the best for your school visit tomorrow! It will be inclusive for deaf school children.🔥🤟 Thanks @CSSEF for this opportunity.

It was a pleasure to once again host @Signforthoughts for another deaf awareness session. A very valuable session for crews that will be very beneficial moving forward. A big thanks again to Penny and Sophie and to @CSSEF

This evening, Blue Watch were lucky enough to receive an introduction to basic sign language with @Signforthoughts. A thoroughly engaging and informative 2 hours. Due to a large deaf community within #Farnborough, this training will prove invaluable to crews in the future.
