Deaf Awareness Training
Page Updated: 24th May 2022
Citizens Information Board (CIB) is delighted to launch a series of videos about ‘Deaf Awareness Training’ developed in collaboration with the Irish Deaf Society (IDS).
The aim of Deaf Awareness Training is to promote knowledge and understanding about the Deaf community and to break down barriers between Deaf people and hearing people. These videos will provide an understanding of Deafness, the Deaf community, Sign languages and other topics related to the Deaf community, including how to engage and communicate with Deaf people in a Deaf-friendly way. Awareness of the Deaf community is needed to reduce barriers and highlight the experience and the issues Deaf people face daily.
The five Deaf Awareness Training videos include the following topics:
- Learn about the Deaf community in Ireland
- Irish Sign Language (ISL)
- Everyday barriers to access – a challenge for Deaf people
- Working with Irish Sign Language interpreters
- Some communication tips
