- Stay safe
“The poetry book/DVD is a great way in which children with hearing difficulties are able to share their emotions and frustrations, enabling not only family but the hearing community to realise the extent of issues faced with everyday life. This is a surefire way to heighten deaf awareness within the community, ensuring the hearing public realise that deafness and sign language are not that uncommon”
Deaf parent of a Life & Deaf poet
“It was wonderful. I felt proud and relieved. You always worry when you’re a mum but then it’s natural (being deaf) like wearing glasses. I want to learn to sign now”
Hearing parent of a Life & Deaf poet
“The poetry was truly amazing and got across the Deaf identities of the teenagers performing more securely than a million formal papers would have done”
Chief Executive - Greenwich Teaching Primary Care Trust
- Be healthy
“I felt before shy, embarrassed and nervous. I felt after brave, excited, proud and very very pleased with myself. All people happy with all Deaf people because all people so laughing and excellent”
Chi - Life & Deaf Poet - age 12
“It made us feel so empowered. You guys can’t know how good it is to be somewhere where all the people, deaf and hearing, parents and professionals, adults and children are informed and positive about deafness. We came out feeling like we had one huge family around us”
Parent of two profoundly Deaf children
“We left the whole presentation extremely positive about the future of our deaf children and the way Greenwich community is so that we are part of a such a big family. Very well done very professional and coming away and waking up the next day we are extremely positive about the whole of our children’s education within the borough of Greenwich”
