Information<br />

15<br />

• Greater information on<br />

accessing other services and<br />

support with completing<br />

forms and applications<br />

• Lack of articles written by<br />

members in <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Hand</strong><br />

• Longer running hours of the<br />

Information & Advice line,<br />

including evenings and<br />

weekends<br />

It was also clear from the day<br />

that some members and their<br />

families may not be aware of<br />

all the services provided by<br />

DBUK. All of the issues raised<br />

at the forums will be taken on<br />

board and looked into. We will<br />

also continue to provide<br />

updates in <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Hand</strong> on the<br />

feedback we’ve received and<br />

any plans to develop our<br />

services.<br />

If you would like to attend one of our member forums listed<br />

below, please email: feedback@deafblind.org.uk.<br />
