BEXLEY Deaf Centre is running an awareness course for anyone who wants to learn how to communicate with deaf people.
The course will be held on December 14 from 10.30am until 1pm in 104 Erith High Street.
There will be a short seminar about being deaf followed by basic sign language and lip reading.
Refreshments will be available throughout.
A spokesman for the centre said: “Deaf awareness is a short course for anyone who wishes to learn how to communicate to deaf people and recognise the limitations of what deaf people can or can’t do.
“There are around 9 million deaf people in the UK so the chances of bumping into a deaf person are high- it’s better to have the training to make communication effective with minimal fuss.”
