At Suvai Deaf East Community, we believe in empowering the Deaf community by providing vital knowledge and practical skills that enhance safety, communication and community engagement. Our Awareness Programmes are designed to educate and equip Deaf individuals with the tools they need to confidently navigate daily life while building connections with essential services.
 

Our Awareness Workshops Include:

1. First Aid Training:

   • Learn essential first aid skills in an accessible environment. Our workshops cover how to handle common emergencies like cuts, burns, and choking. We provide training in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). The sessions are conducted with British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation to ensure all participants can follow along.
      

2. Police Awareness Workshop:

   • This workshop offers insight into the roles and responsibilities of the police force. It aims to improve understanding between the Deaf community and law enforcement, providing guidance on how to interact with police officers in various situations. Topics include crime prevention, knowing your rights and how to report incidents effectively using BSL services.
      

3. Fire Safety and Prevention:

   • Fire safety is essential for every household. Our workshop covers fire prevention tips, what to do in case of an emergency and how to use fire safety equipment like extinguishers. With Deaf-friendly materials and BSL support, participants will leave feeling more confident about staying safe.
      

4. Emergency Preparedness:

   • Be ready for any crisis with our emergency preparedness training. This session focuses on creating emergency plans, what to pack in a go-bag and understanding local warning systems—all explained with BSL interpretation.
      

5. Legal and Financial Literacy:

   • Our legal and financial awareness workshops teach participants about basic legal rights, budgeting, and managing finances. We bring in experts to ensure that the Deaf community has access to accurate information on wills, tenancy agreements, and financial planning.
