SUMMARY:What do we know about Domestic Abuse in Deaf Communities?
DESCRIPTION:Whilst public awareness of domestic abuse has increased over the years and new legislation has been introduced making coercive control criminal offence\, research tells us the only 1 out of 5 survivors report to the police.  Research has also found that deaf women are 2-3 times more likely to experience domestic abuse than their hearing peers (Crowe\, 2017).  \nWhy might this be?  What can be done to improve understanding of and support to deaf women experiencing domestic abuse? \nThis webinar will provide a general overview of the Deaf community as a linguistic and cultural minority and highlight what we know about domestic abuse in deaf communities.  It will enable anyone working in general or specialist services to reflect on how they can use this knowledge to improve accessibility and support for this group. \nThe webinar will: \n\nProvide a general overview of the Deaf community as a linguistic and cultural minority\nReflect on what we know about domestic abuse in deaf communities.\nIncrease participants understanding and awareness around the specific issues and challenges facing deaf women and girls who have experienced GBV\nIdentify how general and specialist services can improve accessibility for this group.\nReflect on key approaches for working with British Sign Language interpreters\n\nFacilitators: Professor Jemina Napier\, Heriot Watt University and Lucy Clark\, Project Officer \nThe webinar will be fully supported and accessible with a BSL Interpreter. \nPlease note\, if you work within the SWA network you can book a free place through the Members Training Calendar. \n
