I wanted to let you know that today is my last day of police service as I retire tomorrow. Many people to thank from over the years who have supported me to improve police services for deaf people. @DerbysPLOD will continue with this work. Thank you. Take care and goodbye 👋
Amazing news & congratulations to PC Stephanie Rose. Her support was vital to my PhD & @justisigns project. Come 2024 we will explore training sessions with officers & call handlers, which I am incredibly excited about. Thank you Stephanie (not tagged), this is well deserved 🙌👏

The study interviewed police officers (w mixed experience of contact with deaf people & knowledge of BSL). The data was from the @justisigns project. We explain the issues around communication (w/wo interpreter support) & issues linked to how police services are organised.
👋I have produced Easy Read, Audio and British Sign Language (BSL) versions of my Police and Crime Plan.
