The RNID will be carrying out a research project into the provision of lipreading classes across England and Wales. The project is being run in conjunction with ATLA, Hearing Concern LINK and UKCoD. The project will be carried out in May/June 2010 and aims to look at lipreading class provision as a whole - including classes taught by ATLA members and other classes - to gain as accurate and complete a picture as possible. The data collected will be used to inform the campaign for lipreading classes in England and Wales. The RNID in Scotland has already carried out some research into lipreading class provision and thus Scotland is not included in this research project. A new section on the campaign and research is available for ATLA members - simply log in for access. |
