LDC - Employment and Welfare Service (360G-SCVO-a0gb000000QAM2gAAH)
We aim to provide an employment support to enable the Deaf community to access welfare advice and support to seek employment by using their first language of British Sign Language. There is no service in place to provide support for the deaf community in the area. With welfare reform and lack of employment opportunity this is leading to deterioration in many families and individuals mental health. The communication barrier faced by many Deaf in our society is a huge hurdle that needs to be addressed. Rather than valuable members of our society being left at home we need to put things in place to enable them to access and have the same rights as their hearing counterparts. We already have strong links with other advice agencies such as North Lanarkshire Disability Forum and CAB. Through these links we would be able to signpost and provide the much-needed advice to the Deaf community. Our communication support worker will be there to translate from BSL to English. Within the Deaf community there is a very high unemployment rate. This was highlighted in the information gathering in the lead up to the British Sign Language (Scotland) Act 2015 being approved. Many young Deaf and deaf families live in poverty and are unaware of changes to the welfare system due to nothing being sent out in their own language of BSL. There have been many changes in how to access information and apply for jobs. Many companies now choose to put their applications online. Many Deaf people cannot access this as they cannot understand written English and cannot afford to have Internet at home. We aim to provide a service where Deaf people can come and have help in accessing application forms, making phone calls on their behalf and assisting with welfare benefits advice.

Recipient Org: Description | Lanarkshire Deaf Club provides support and advice for deaf people of all ages. We are volunteer led. This includes running and organising the social club for the deaf community and their families, a mother and toddler group during school holidays, a youth group and the formation of a 'drop in' service. We provide an opportunity for deaf families to have a safe environment where both hearing and deaf people are equal. During the mother's group we teach baby sign. In the future we will be restarting BSL sign language courses. The 'drop in' service is a service that the deaf community can access for assistance with correspondance, appointments or to be sign posted to the appropriate service ensuring that there is an appropriately qualified interpreter there. The service is aimed at all age groups and ethnicity. We support both deaf people with hearing children and hearing people with deaf children. |
