Why you should choose MSDP as your Deaf Awareness training provider…
By choosing MSDP, you are showing your commitment to equality for all D/deaf people as well as supporting a local charity with a majority Deaf staff team. Our Deaf centre is home to one of the largest Deaf social clubs in the UK and we support some of the most isolated and vulnerable Deaf and Deaf-blind people in Merseyside. Income generated from this e-learning package will help our charity to support more Deaf people and enables us to achieve our charitable objectives to break down the barriers and inequalities people with hearing loss experience every day.
“This is amazing, such a wonderful project. It’s really accessible and clear, plus informative too.”
Hannah Cooper
Strategic Commissioning Manager (Prevention and Early Intervention), Liverpool City Council
“The deaf awareness e-learning is absolutely brilliant and I love how the lived experience videos flow through the whole package. Huge well done to all involved in putting it together – you should all be really proud.”
Jamie Anderson
Chief Executive, Age UK Wirral
“Becoming more aware of the barriers that d/Deaf people face is essential and we believe that the smallest changes can make the biggest difference to the lives of people with hearing loss.”
Jo Parr
CEO of Merseyside Society for Deaf People
“As a Deaf professional, I am delighted to be able to launch our first e-learning modules. Our communities told us that access to health services was their number one priority so we designed a general deaf awareness as well as a health specific service.”
