Our service has produced a draft generic access policy, which may be of use to those in the Deaf, hard of hearing, deafened and deafblind community. It
is aimed at Government Depts, Public Bodies and service providers. You may be working with service providers that could benefit from a policy being
introduced and implemented. The policy is written in a way that it can be easily amended to suit your needs or the needs of an organisation.
If you want further clarification on it, please contact us.
If you use the policy in any way, we would appreciate it if you could make reference to our service in some way.
