Sign of the times - Deaf Awareness Week

ITV and Emmerdale have been working with ITV SignPost to celebrate Deaf Awareness Week.

Deaf Awareness Week takes place from 2nd - 8th May. It’s a national initiative centred around promoting the positive aspects of deafness, encouraging social inclusion and championing deaf organisations.

Throughout the week, Coronation Street and ITV's Daytime featured sign-language on their shows.

Reflecting the diversity of modern society both on and off-screen is a key commitment under ITV's Responsibility strategy, raising awareness of social topics through our most-loved and most-watched programmes.

Watch the clip to see how sign language featured in Bob and Brenda's cafe.
