Rape Crisis Scotland today launches its new Deaf Access Service with a multiagency event held with partners Deaf Connections in Glasgow.
From today, in addition to our 6pm-midnight helpline we will also offer a support service on Tuesdays from 1.30 to 5pm aimed at Deaf survivors, family and friends.
Support will be available via text on 07537 400702, via free Sign on Screen calls (the online BSL interpreting service) to 0141 331 2715 as well as via our existing minicom, email, telephone and fax.
