In this workshop, we will cover:

  • How to recognise the unique signs of domestic abuse in the Deaf community, and how these may differ from the hearing community
  • Practical strategies for supporting Deaf individuals experiencing domestic abuse
  • Key information about Deaf culture, useful resources, and where to access specialist support
