Deaf Awareness Training
Our Deaf Awareness training provides valuable insights into deaf culture, communication preferences, and the challenges deaf individuals may face, equipping your team with the sensitivity and understanding needed for effective interaction. This training goes beyond simply learning about deafness; it cultivates empathy and promotes a truly welcoming atmosphere where deaf individuals feel valued and respected.
“Really informative and super educational. It was so positive and it was a shame we it ended because it was so good! I’ll be recommending to everyone in the office and hope they take up some training. Thank you for inviting me to learn how I can improve.” Balfour Beatty

The biggest challenge deaf people face is communication access. Think about signing a mortgage without fully understanding the terms, or starting a new job and missing out on casual conversations. This is what many deaf people experience daily.
Our training helps your team confidently communicate with deaf colleagues and customers, showing your commitment to inclusivity. Without these skills, deaf people may struggle to access your organization.
After our training, your team will be able to:
- Confidently approach a deaf person
- Understand different types of deafness
- Communicate with a variety of deaf people
- Work effectively with BSL interpreters and other communication professionals
- Use basic BSL signs
terptree training is engaging and provides the knowledge you need through a unique approach.
We tailor each training session to your specific organisation. We start by researching your business, your team’s roles, and how deaf individuals fit within your structure.
For workplace training, we also talk to the deaf team member to understand their specific communication barriers. We incorporate these insights into the training to ensure it meets their needs and addresses their challenges.
For training on deaf customer experience, we explain the obstacles deaf people face in your industry and how to overcome them. Once we have this information, we create training materials specifically for your team.
The training is delivered online. Afterwards, your team receives follow-up resources to reinforce learning, and we’re available to answer any questions.
