Hospitality staff get sensory awareness training to improve experience of people with
hearing loss
We gave staff at a top hotel in Dunblane specialist training to improve the experiences of
guests with hearing loss.
We delivered the training at the DoubleTree Dunblane Hydro hotel near Stirling.
The one-day course outlined how deafness impacts on people’s daily lives, and the
adjustments that can be made to meet their needs and make them feel more comfortable
during their stay.
It included deaf awareness training and a British Sign Language workshop to enable and
empower staff to support and welcome customers who have sensory loss.
The training sessions are one way that we work to improve the lives and experiences of
people with sight and hearing loss in Forth Valley.
FVSC delivers sensory awareness training to organisations both at the centre or by visiting
businesses.

Get ready for the festive Season with FVSC’s Winter Fayre
Our Winter Fayre is the perfect way to get into the festive spirit.
There will be performances from the Sensory Singers and a sign language sing a long with
children from Windsor Park School.
There will also be a chance to scoop a top prize luxury hamper in our raffle.

All funds raised will support our work to help people with sensory loss live their lives to the
full.
