• SignHealth runs the UK’s first and only specialist service for Deaf victims of domestic abuse and their families.
• Our team of qualified Deaf Domestic Abuse specialists, including IDVAs and IDSVAs, use British Sign Language (BSL) and other sign languages to provide support.
• We communicate directly with clients, building trust and ensuring the right support. This is safer and more
cost-effective than using BSL interpreters.
• We assess whether our service is right for each person and, if not, direct them to other appropriate services.
We also offer FREE training for hearing professionals. Our workshop, Domestic Abuse in the Deaf Community, covers:
• Deaf people's experiences and fears when interacting with services
• How to support Deaf individuals facing domestic abuse
• Information on the Deaf community, resources, and information on our service.
• The training lasts about 2 hours (can be shortened) and is available remotely or in person. Minimum 5 participants, max 25.
