Deaf Service at Coventry CAB

Coventry Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), funded by Santander, and BID Services are joining forces with The British Deaf Association (BDA) to improve access to advice for deaf people in Coventry.

CAB are working with BID Services to give advice and information to deaf people in British Sign Language to ensure that deaf people in Coventry - who may not be fully aware of their rights - are not missing out on the services available to them.

Coventry CAB can advise deaf people on debt, benefits, housing, family, employment, consumer, discrimination and immigration issues. CAB and BID Services will try to help individuals to resolve such problems, and will join with the BDA to campaign for better access to advice and information for deaf people. Where the CAB finds examples of discrimination against deaf people, it can report this to the national Citizens Advice and the BDA, and take action to improve services for the future.

Deaf people can come to CAB for advice on a Tuesday morning from 10am to 11.45am. They can also contact CAB to request an appointment (not necessarily on a Tuesday morning) by email, fax or text. Loop facilities and sign language interpreters are provided.

For an appointment, deaf people can:
