Hello We have a profoundly deaf student undertaking a diploma in mental health. He uses hearing aids. He needs to continually lip read to hear what is being said and does not use either a standard telephone or a text phone. He said he will use a text phone if he needs to. In previous employment he always worked in pairs (he was a carer in a home) so the other worker always informed him if he did not pick up on something and made/took phone calls. Therefore, our main concern is when he is on placement. Has anyone else had experience of this situation - particularly in relation to working in mental health units.
