Support with visual and hearing impairments

See page 12 for more information on support with hearing and visual impairments. If you haven’t been able to find the information you were looking for, and want to talk to someone, contact the Adult Social Care Helpdesk – see page 32.

The council provides additional support for people who have a visual impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing or have a dual sensory loss, as well as their families and carers, including:

• Advice, guidance and support.

• Assessment and provision of services to adults.

• Help to find pieces of equipment to help with day-to-day living.

• Information and advice for families or people who care for deaf people.

• Information about support provided by statutory and other voluntary organisations.

There is no charge for help from health or sensory services staff. There may be a charge for services following your assessment, based on your ability to pay. Some equipment is loaned at no charge.
