 On June 4, 2025, Christopher Stone visited us to discuss his sensitive topic.
 
The project launched on 1st Feb 2025 will look at how technology can help facilitate a more practical process of access to support and the Criminal Justice System (CJS) for deaf victims of domestic violence and abuse (DVA). The project will explore whether deaf victims, police and professionals supporting such victims feel interpreter-technology would be useful or indeed, desired by the parties involved. Additionally, it will also look at the potential role and impact of new uses of technology within this context. The current presentation presented the pilot findings and explored the avenues that the team will further investigate.
 
Thank you very much for the many thought-provoking ideas, dear Christopher.
