IDS are developing a 3 year strategy. You can help by doing our survey!
The Irish Deaf Society has started an exciting project to develop a strategy for the next 3 years. What does that mean? It means we are developing a plan about what topics we will campaign for and we need to understand what the priorities are for Deaf people in Ireland.
We need your input to tell us what are the challenges and barriers you face. What changes do you want to see? What are the biggest problems you have in your day-to-day life? We have developed this survey to help us understand your needs and opinions. The survey is in English and ISL, you can watch the ISL videos of the questions and you can answer in ISL or English, or both!
Your feedback. Your goals. Our Plan.
