Deafblind Awareness Week (23 - 29 June)​

In today's world, we frequently hear about awareness months, weeks or days that strive to shine the spotlight on social concerns, medical conditions and disability issues. The main objective of these campaigns is to promote greater awareness among the public and giving clear signposts for action in terms of how society can change attitudes and realign perceptions in a more positive light.

Did you know that in 2011 we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Section 7 “Social Care Guidance for Deafblind Adults and Children”. Debbie James, Director (and founder) of Deafblind Enablement, was involved in campaigning for it’s implementation and continues to push it forward by training assessors and fighting for the rights of deafblind people.
