The Deaf At Work survey will be closing this week, on Friday 20 December. Make sure you respond before then and share with your networks! The more responses we get, the more evidence we have on what needs to change. deaftogether.org.uk/take-our-deaf-… #DeafAtWork #deaftogether

@LipspeakerUK Thanks for sharing! #deaftogether

Don't forget the @deaftogether_ 'Deaf at Work' survey closes this week on the 20th December. If you can find the time to complete this, you'll be contributing to some vital research 👇 deaftogether.org.uk/take-our-deaf-…

@QueerCantHear It doesn’t officially include self employment specific questions, but there are questions around general employment experiences, that you can refer to self employment in your answers!

@deaftogether_ Does this include self-employment, or just formal employment?

Today we are launching our Deaf At Work survey. We want to work towards a future where employment is accessible and inclusive.  The first step is to build evidence of what needs to change and why. We need your experiences and ideas. Take the survey now. deaftogether.org.uk/take-our-deaf-…
