Visual Frame Services

Bridging the Communication Gap for the Deaf Community

It is estimated that there are over 450,000 Deafblind people in the UK. As such, there is a huge demand for access to appropriate communication support for medical appointments, Access to Work, and social care assessments. At Prestige Network, we strive to make communication accessible to all and work hard to provide interpreting services tailored to the needs of each Deafblind client.

Our Visual Frame Services provide a qualified British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter trained to keep their signing closer to their body and slightly below their lips so that the sensory impaired recipient can see (and lipread) as clearly as possible within their more limited field of vision.

At Prestige Network, we are dedicated to providing specialised communication support for the d/Deaf and Deafblind community. Our professional Visual Frame Services are designed to ensure that individuals with multi-sensory impairment have access to clear, accurate, and effective communication in various settings.
