Probation officers and social workers will soon be attending sign language classes in an effort to assist them to better communicate with and help persons with disabilities, according to Minister of Human Services & Social Security, Priya Manickchand.
Manickchand was speaking at the opening of last Friday’s workshop for probation and child protection officers at the National Library. The minister said that she wants her ministry to ensure that persons with disabilities enjoy the same services as other citizens, and she is moving to create an environment to allow this to happen.
