WYP Deaf Engagement

West Yorkshire Police's page for the Deaf community. This should not be used to report crime. Text 999 (emergency) or 07786 200 200 (non-emergency) or LiveChat

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

People used to be able to SMS @WestYorksPolice using non-emergency number 07786 200 200. This hasn’t been working for a while. Would you use it if is available? Some people use LiveChat & some use TypeTalk/Text Relay. If you needed to contact us what would be the easiest way?

@WYP_DFU This is great news! We will shortly be refreshing our Deaf Community Champions programme, so it would be great to have DFU colleagues involved.

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

This is great. It’s so important that people are aware of the different types of abuse & how to recognise it.

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

@Sam_allen0 @WYP_PCSO133 Yes, we’ve been in touch with James about this 😀 We’re going to be relaunching the Deaf Champions programme soon - may change the name to PLOD because that’s what the national programme is called.

#DeafAwarenessWeek @UK_PLOD reps are in every force providing support and guidance

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

This week is #DAW2020. Each day this week, we are asking members of WYP to think about different aspects of what it means to be Deaf or have a hearing impairment.

@Sam_allen0 @Limping_Chicken Thank you for sharing this honest & heart-felt story. We are aware of various things that are disadvantaging Deaf people such as lack of information in BSL & facemasks can be a barrier to Deaf people communicating. Are you aware of the emergency 999 sms service? @UK_PLOD

Lynn Stewart-Taylor is from Flashing Lights Productions - a deaf led media production company. They are looking for young deaf talent (11-16 years old) for a new TV programme.

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

Do you have a story to tell, a special talent, exciting hobby or amazing journey to share with deaf children? The aim is to tell people about the amazing talents & lives of deaf children. Are you deaf? Do you have something you want to show to others? Would you love to be on TV?

[WYP Deaf Engagement @WYP_Deaf]

These are great! We also produced a BSL ourselves a few years ago as part of a project with the Deaf community. See https://t.co/tNaNObiKO7
