Would you like to be a Sign Language Teacher

?Hands That Talk will be applying for some funding to train some new Sign Language Teachers.
We would like to know if anyone in the Deaf community would be interested in becoming a Sign Language Teacher.
If we are successful with our funding application, we would like to train some new Sign Language Teachers so that we can continue to offer Sign Language Classes at Hands That Talk.
Please contact us at Hands That Talk, if you are interested.

SignLive

Our British Sign Language (BSL) and Irish Sign Language (ISL) customers can now contact the Northern Ireland Housing Executive through a new communication method called Video Relay Service (VRS). This Relay Service is being provided by  SignLive  . Using this service customers will be able to communicate directly with our staff via a Sign Language interpreter who will sign the staff member's words verbatim to the customer and vice versa. All calls coming through to the Housing Executive will be managed by SignLive and details of how BSL & ISL customers can access the Video Relay Service are available on the Housing Executive's  website . Please note that this is a pilot scheme that is currently in place for 12 months. It is also hoped that VRS will improve communication options during the Covid-19 pandemic.
