: Trustees Annual Report
» 2021 to 2022
Deaf World are pleased to offer their annual report for the year ending March 2022. The life of : Deaf World and the year has proved to be another challenging year. Despite the challenges we _ were able to deliver the following services In partnership with deaf and hard of hearing young ' people.
| :
_ ECAD Midlands : On the back of a positive and productive cricket season 2021 with a 50%-win rate, a | Management committee was set up and the members drew up and adopted their constitution. » They undertook ontine training on club management and acquired thelr certiflcates courtesy of _ funding from Sports Birmingham.

The AGM was followed by the award ceremony and celebration meal was well attended with ~_ special[plan][of][ action,] guests from[ January] Islamic[ 2022] Rellef.[saw][ the] The[start] management[of][ the][professional] committee[coaching] presented[at][ the] their[S&S] findings[indoor] and[cricket] the : net training. Courtesy of the coach two of the players were recommended to take up thelr coaching badges. ECAD Midlands can proudly state that they have acquired their Level 1 in cricket coaching certificates.

: Enquiries were also made to the Arden Sunday League for season 2023, our interest has been : : registered. The search for a shared home ground within the region is well under way with a couple of potential opportunities. ; - Life Skills Driver Training Programme (LSDTP) ! _-hearingDuring February young people.half term To dateDeaftwo Worldhavedeliveredsuccessfullythelr passedfourth thelrLSDTPdrivingfor 14 testdeafand and twohardfromof the | : last programme. i :This Is by far proving the most sought after and requested programme. Deaf World are working : with the Steering Group to acquire funding to ensure that the opportunity to learn to drive Is accessible for all deaf and hard of hearing young people. Research that has been undertaken by | the steering group found that the bottle neck, in terms of progression and a higher pass rate, Is [ the lack of resources in BSL. A work plan and a budget has been prepared and preparations are - under way to make appeals and funding applications. i The BSL resource will be an entry level to gain a better understanding of the the principles of : learning to to drive and the competencies associated.

The BSL resource will be an entry level to gain a better understanding of the the principles of : learning to to drive and the competencies associated. This will, hopefully, give the the fearner : confidence given the BSL resource is in thelr preferred language. This knowledge base will assist : the learner to overcome and stress and anxiety to learning and hopefully bulld their selfesteem.

: oe According to- https://www.deafumbrella.com/post/sign-language-doesn-t-cause-languagedelays-language-deprivation-does ?fbclid=lwAR3fnikd37oroiCFK40u5 eaQAvIN8Rea-dxuxvi6yFhwJmMXWN2j02YxfZs
: The link references that sign language doesn't cause language delays but language deprivation ' does and highlights that the consequences of language deprivation can last a lifetime, with : irreversible effects to their brains like, such as- Cognitive delays, Negative impact on : development and mental health issues, Deaf World’s research reinforces the language barrier : experienced by deaf young people.
:
| Based on the consultation Deaf World can evidence that there are many complex issues - associated with learning to drive and acquiring their driving license. The first barrier is finding a} deaf driving instructor within the region, the reluctance of the hearing driving instructor to take i ' ona deaf learner, the uncertainty of the learners and the parents/ carers to go with the hearing : instructor all adds to the frustration and many chose not to drive. This is certainly the case as ! many people over 25 have been contacting Deaf World to take up driving. _ All this has led to many mental health and well-being Issues for the for the the deaf community community as their needs are not being addressed. Deaf World World are working in partnership with the deaf deaf i | community to move this initiative forward. :
