This project focuses on best practices for sign language interpreters and approved mental health professionals (e.g., police, healthcare workers, counsellors, refuge workers) to work together in supporting communication needs of deaf women who have experienced domestic or sexual abuse or gender-based violence.
SIGNS@HWU is a group of researchers who focus on sign language studies and Deaf Studies. We are situated in the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies, Heriot-Watt University. SIGNS@HWU was established as a cluster of the Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies in Scotland, to profile the world-leading interdisciplinary research being conducted at Heriot-Watt University.
