1. Do you provide community information videos which are accessible to British Sign Language users or the Deaf Community in general?  We don't provide this in general but we have directed the Deaf Community in Moray to Scottish Government information on COVID, including links to information in BSL. We had BSL interpretation at the Council meeting about the Moray BSL plan and we produced a BSL video of the plan.
2. What is the name, job title, department and email address of the individual/s responsible for this? Don Toonen, Equal Opportunities Officer, Governance, Strategy and Performance. Don.toonen@moray.gov.uk 

3. Do you provide communication support for Deaf Employees? Yes. This is done on an individual basis as a reasonable adjustment.
4. What is the name, job title, department and email address of the individual/s responsible for this? In the first instance it will be the individual's line manager in liaison with HR and the Equal Opportunities Officer.
