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 will present our pilot ndings and explore the avenues that we will further investigate.
