This jointly developed pack gives those commissioning and providing mental health services essential up to date information on mental health and deafness in order to make services more inclusive.
The pack was endorsed by Rosie Winterton MP, then Minister of State for Health Services, and Liam Byrne MP, then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Care Services:
“We very much welcome the publication of this service providers’ guide to Mental Health and Deafness. The pack sets out clearly the kind of things that Deaf and deafened people should realistically expect from services and also contains a very useful briefing on the relationship between mental health and deafness.
We commend this pack to you and encourage all NHS organisations to endorse the Deaf Mental Health Charter.”

You can also order hard copies of the poster from Sign on 01494 687600 or email info@signcharity.org.uk
We hope that you will display the poster in reception areas and distribute the other materials to your colleagues as the beginning of a service audit and quality improvement process.
You are most welcome to photocopy all enclosures, as we want the widest possible adoption of these principles and hope you will implement inclusive policies in your organisation.
