Sense (charity) - Deafblind Guidance

Deafblind Guidance

In March 2001, the Government issued statutory guidance about services for deafblind people and circulated it to Local Authorities with a Local Authority Circular document. A ‘quantum leap in deafblind services’ was how Sense’s magazine, Talking Sense, described the issuing of the guidance. The guidance was introduced as a direct result of pressure by a Sense campaign which called for a commitment to getting the right support for deafblind people enshrined in law.
