The UKCoD Employment Group played a huge role and gave endless positive support and commitment throughout the whole process.

Our sincere thanks also to Positive Signs, Disability Action, Network Rail, Deafness Support Network and NATSIP together with those who have worked independently with us, Jim Edwards (former Chair of UKCoD) and Dan Sumners (former UKCoD APPG on Deafness secretariat).

This is one example of how membership with UKCoD proved invaluable and allowed us to be heard as one voice for all within our sector.

Once again, our sincere thanks our members for this much needed united support.

We hope our work continues to strengthen the future for many within the sector which in turn secures all our futures.
