Deafblind Awareness

EDM number 1445 in 1997-98, proposed by Tom Levitt on 18/06/1998.

That this House welcomes Sense and Deafblind UK's Red and White: No Sound, No Sight, Campaign during Deafblind Awareness Week, 22nd to 27th June, to increase national recognition of the red and white cane, the mobility aid for deafblind people; believes greater recognition of the red and white cane would make it easier for many deafblind people to move around safely and confidently, enhance their safety both as pedestrians and users of public transport, improve their access to mainstream services and facilities and reduce their isolation in the community by encouraging hearing sighted people to make contact and offer appropriate assistance; and urges the Government to support this vital initiative with practical action.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs.
