Jacinta Allan Ben Carroll We love this video and hope that we can discuss how we can include deaf and hard of hearing Victorians!
Angela Rayner, the newest Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Angela is using #British Sign Language and strongly believes that #signlanguage is an essential right for deaf British citizens. As one of the closest aides to the head of government, she not only has a positive attitude towards inclusivity but also enjoys using sign language to communicate. This commitment to accessibility was highlighted in a video released in May 2022 for #Deaf Awareness. It makes us wonder, how are other European countries promoting sign language and accessibility for their deaf communities?

Please support the sector in getting Recommendation 29 implemented by the Victorian Government!
On the third anniversary of Victoria’s historic Mental Health Royal Commission, consumer advocates are still asking when they will see action. Mental health and AOD consumer advocates are marking three years since the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System by writing to parliamentarians about a key recommendation that is long overdue. https://lnkd.in/evgvhUdq (vmiac.org.au)
