Unequal impact: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and the impact on people with protected characteristics

Hi all, I saw this on Twitter and thought I'd share it here:
"An important government inquiry: "Unequal impact: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and the impact on people with protected characteristics". Do send evidence by 30th April 2020. So many deaf & deaf blind people have had reduced access or missed out on information."
https://twitter.com/rejadam/status/1245298397671763969
To submit evidence just visit:
https://committees.parliament.uk/work/227/coronavirus-and-the-impact-on-people-with-protected-characteristics/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SocialSignIn
Hope you're all safe and well

Hi @JenCo - thanks for sharing this. Its great to see a consultation on this and also for you to relate it to Deaf and deaf blind people. As a Deaf person myself this has been a really challenging time. How have things been for you?

How are you doing? I hope you're well and safe too -
Thanks @Jenco - I am ok thanks. Enjoying being a home with the kids and wife. It's definitely challenging being Deaf at home, with little access and screaming kids - at least I can turn off my aids! lol.... Thanks for being part of the community.
