We are delighted to announce that our Associate Director for Inclusion, Teri Devine, has been appointed to the BSL Advisory Board by the Secretary of Work and Pensions.
Rob Geaney, Head of Campaigns and External Affairs at RNID, breaks down what RNID are pleased to see and what we will continue to campaign for.
RNID are calling on the government to include a hearing check in the NHS health check, to help millions of people in the UK identify hearing loss earlier and potentially reduce their risk of developing dementia.
A new report from RNID has revealed the difficulties faced by people who need their ear wax professionally removed.
Our new research, released today to launch our new ‘Check your hearing’ campaign, paints a startling picture of the nation’s hearing health amongst people who have no officially diagnosed hearing loss.
RNID and our supporters are thrilled that after eight years of campaigning, controversial hearing aid restrictions in North Staffordshire will be removed, and NHS hearing aids will be available to everyone - regardless of level of hearing loss or area.
We’re thrilled that so many people signed our petition to tell the government to make video on demand content accessible.
We’re delighted to announce that from today, 17 June 2022, people needing urgent emergency support across the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) will be able to call 999 using British Sign Language (BSL) via a video relay service.
Our open letter to the UKCA – do more to make cinemas inclusive for deaf people now.
