We hope these will be of value to our wonderful NHS staff , and other key workers who are putting themselves at risk to save the lives of others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow these simple tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>1) Use Bullet Points<\/h4>\n<p>Get a pen and paper and write down bullet points rather than longer sentences.<br \/>\nBritish Sign Language has a different grammar structure to written English so reading articles or forms may not be the most efficient way to access information.<\/p>\n<h4>2.) Don\u2019t Shout<\/h4>\n<p>We can\u2019t hear you. Shouting doesn\u2019t help a person who is deaf or has a hearing impairment.<\/p>\n<h4>3.) Use Body Language<\/h4>\n<p>Lip readers won\u2019t be able to see your lips because of the mask so use body language, hand gestures and use your eyes to convey the tone and emotion necessary to help get the message across.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the NHS, ambulance staff, police force, army and all the key workers putting themselves at risk to save others.
