Action Deafness Care & Community team are delighted to present the panel for the Responding to the Community and Personal Care needs of D/deaf people in a post pandemic world. The Action Deafness Experience!

The panel of five speakers appraises Action Deafness’ Community Care response during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. Like never before, Covid-19 exposed gaps in community care provision and practice yet at the same time, it highlighted the need for a dedicated and specific response to the care needs of D/deaf people. The panel reflects a range of experience relating to the support provision for D/deaf people and looks to identify what we can learn from the Action Deafness experience and seeks to imagine a social care system that is inclusive of the needs of D/deaf people.
