Equal opportunities for all – how to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing people
About half a million deaf people live in Poland, constituting a significant part of society. To facilitate effective communication with these individuals, specialised tools and methods of non-verbal communication are utilised. The most important of them include interpreting services performed by experienced specialists interpreting into Polish Sign Language (PJM) and its varieties. Video recordings and conference broadcasts featuring sign language interpreters are increasingly popular, enabling deaf individuals to access media and educational content. We encourage you to explore our services in this area!
Is there legislative support for deaf people?
Since 1 April 2012, under the Act on Sign Language and Other Means of Communication, deaf individuals are guaranteed the right to access specialist services such as sign language interpreters. By law, public institutions, healthcare facilities, and other government bodies are mandated to provide access to sign language interpreting. This ensures equal access to services and information. This regulation is an important step towards the fuller integration of deaf people in society. The availability of PJM interpreters in various settings allows people with hearing loss to exercise their basic civil rights and participate in daily life without significant hindrances. Employers are also encouraged to adapt workplaces to accommodate the needs of deaf employees, thereby creating new professional opportunities for them.
What is the practical application of sign interpreting?
Sign language interpreting is increasingly being used in various sectors of public life in Poland. Television stations regularly employ sign language interpreters for news programmes, enabling deaf people to stay informed about current events. Museums and other cultural institutions offer sign language interpretation, providing access to culture and education. In the consumer and entertainment services sector, the availability of sign language interpretation is growing, promoting greater social integration. Efforts to counteract exclusion can be observed in virtually every environment, including at events and galas organised by various institutions, where a sign language conference interpreter is becoming more and more sought after each year.
What is Lidex’s approach to sign interpreting?
At Lidex, we are pioneers in the field of PJM interpreting. Our services include promoting conference interpreting for meetings, presentations, training sessions, and other events, both in-person and online. Our specialists also support hybrid projects. We strive to play an important role in educating the public about the needs of deaf people, raising standards of accessibility and inclusivity. Our initiatives and projects, such as ensuring the availability of online sign interpreters for various remote events, demonstrate how modern technologies can support social integration and ensure equal access to information. These efforts not only assist deaf individuals but also educate the general public about diversity and social needs.
Does Lidex provide other services for people with disabilities?
At Lidex, we do not limit ourselves only to PJM interpreting. We also offer other services that enable fuller participation of people with disabilities in social life, including activities aimed at the blind or visually impaired. Our services include:
- transcription of content into Braille,
- preparation of audio descriptions for films, theatre performances, conferences, and other events.
These initiatives help individuals experience and understand diverse content, increasing access to information and cultural works, which is particularly important for building an inclusive society. Access to materials adapted by a translator for recipients with disabilities is also crucial in the educational context, as it provides opportunities for equal participation in the learning process. Supporting inclusivity through such services contributes to increasing social awareness and eliminating barriers.
Can Lidex provide PJM interpreting and audio description?
Effective communication solutions enable people with disabilities to fully participate in society. In response to these needs, for years we have been providing specialised sign language interpreting and promoting an innovative approach to offering video content with commentary. Our experience makes us an ideal partner for public institutions, organisations, and enterprises. We provide high-quality PJM interpreting, tailored to various situations, including conferences, training sessions, and meetings. Our services also extend to the participation of interpreters in online and hybrid events.
