1:1 Specialist Support

Tailored, individualised support for independence at all ages

At Action Deafness, our 1:1 Specialist Support services provide dedicated assistance for Deaf, Deafblind, Hard of Hearing, and people with sight loss.

Our care services are delivered by Specialist Support Workers (SSWs), many of whom are Deaf and fluent in British Sign Language (BSL), hands-on signing, and the Deafblind Manual Alphabet.

We are a registered domiciliary care provider with both the CQC (Care Quality Commission) in England and the CIW (Care Inspectorate Wales). We offer a free assessment of needs upon referral.
