Deaf Connections’ Involvement in the Campaign for Video Relay Services – VRS Today!

 

Deaf Connections is involved in a national campaign to inform Deaf people of the benefits of Video Relay Services (VRS) and to lobby the Government for funding.

Our online interpreting service – Sign on Screen, allows Deaf people to communicate with hearing people in British Sign Language rather than English and is an excellent alternative to the current Text Relay service provided by Text Direct.

All that is required is access to a computer with a webcam or a videophone and a broadband connection. This type of service will be available on mobile phones very shortly.

The campaign is coming to Scotland on the 24th and 25th February and it is important that as many Deaf people as possible come along to learn more about VRS, see it in action and more importantly, sign the petition!

The events are taking place as follows:

Thursday 24th February:  Glasgow        6:30 – 8:00pm Adobe Arthouse 129 Bath Street

Friday 25th February: Edinburgh          2:00 – 3:30 & 6:30 – 8:00pm Thistle Hotel, Leith Street
