Deafblind Awareness Week

24 – 30 JUNE 2024

This week is Deafblind Awareness Week. However, did you know that Scotland does not formally recognise Deafblindness as a distinct disability?

Deafblind Scotland, with the support of the Cross Party group on Deafness, have been calling on the Scottish Government to formally recognise deafblindness as a distinct disability in Scotland.

The ALLIANCE supports the definition of Deafblindness ā€“ can you?

As part of Deafblind Awareness Week, Deafblind Scotland will be recognised for the work they have been doing at a parliamentary reception at the Scottish Parliament on 26th June.
