Sensory impairment

Care managers assess individual need and arrange appropriate care for adults who are deaf or hard of hearing and who are blind or partially sighted.  Adults ages are 18 to 60 years for women and 18 to 65 years for men.

Specialist rehabilitation officers assess and provide training for people of all ages (including children) with sight impairment.

A technical officer working with deaf and hard of hearing service users of all ages assesses need and provides specialist equipment to assist communication.

Any assistance or equipment provided would aim to promote an individual's ability to remain as independent as possible.

Some of us are competent in British Sign Language (BSL).
