SUSE is the lead partner in the Disability Employment Gap Public Social Partnership (PSP) which has been commissioned by the Scottish Government.

The Disability Employment Gap PSP is a unique and forward-thinking initiative in the Scottish employability landscape. We aim to contribute to the ambition set by the Scottish Government in The Fairer Scotland for Disabled People – Employment Action Plan, to half the Disability Employment Gap by 2038.

As part of funding made available from the partnership, we are delighted to offer providers a free introductory session exploring significant hearing loss.

This course will be presented by partner organisation RNID , who work to make life fully inclusive for deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus.

This session will cover:

· An introduction to significant hearing loss and common difficulties that people face

· Reasonable adjustments’ and how to implement these

· Strategies to include and support people with a significant hearing loss
