We believe that councils, NHS, police forces, Ofsted, CQC and schools do not sufficiently train or monitor for Equality Act compliance, leaving Deaf and non-verbal people unable to access lawful communication. We think mandatory training will end what we believe is systemic discrimination and safeguard lives. Reform is URGENT. Public services throughout the country MUST be accessible.
