NIK on public institutions’ preparedness to communicate with deaf persons

20 July 2015 10:50

Public institutions in Poland are not prepared to communicate with deaf persons as they are not aware of their limitations. In the audited period more than a half public institutions did not introduce any facilities for people with hearing impairments.

It turns out that for some of the deaf this is a foreign language and the only entirely comprehensible one is the sign language.
