Breaking Down Barriers Workshop

A workshop for professionals working in Surrey run by Sensory Services by Sight for Surrey.

The session aims to gain an overview, understanding and appreciation of inclusion, accessibility and independence for and with people who are Deaf, hard of hearing, blind, partially sighted and deafblind.

This workshop will inspire and empower you to become a champion for access and inclusion in Surrey, helping to break down barriers so everyone can embrace an independent life at home, at work and in our communities.
