Stand guide service

Hello, my name is Sean Richards,
and I work for the British Deaf Association.

I'm based in Derby.

Last year, I met with Stand Guide who
spoke about their services in the East Midlands.

During September last year, I sign
posted a couple of people to Stand Guide

to help themselves or their
children to find employment.

In January this year, I received a
wonderful video from a mother who said

that she was so pleased with how Stand Guide
have supported their deaf customers.

They ensured that their CV’s were
up to scratch, provided interpreters to

allow for access in their own language
and helped them to find employment.

So far, I'm aware of 3 or 4 people who
have successfully obtained employment

through Stand Guide and
I'm sure that there are more.

This is really great!

I spoke to someone who got a job
through Stand Guide to see what

their feedback was. They were nothing
but full of praise for Stand Guide.

They said that their services were great,
the staff were awesome and supportive,

they were understanding and encouraging
them to find confidence in getting a job.

This is really pleasing to see that there
is support out there for the Deaf community

and Stand Guide is just one of
the wonderful shining examples.

Thank you very much to Stand Guide.
