| Annotation | The ideas in this publication are relevant to specialist services for deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing people, as well as services to adults and older people, a large number of whom have hearing loss. "Stepping away from the edge" follows on from the the findings of the Social Services Inspectorate (SSI) 1997 report, "A service on the edge". Following the inspection, representatives of local authorities and voluntary organisations worked with the SSI on this publication. It provides: a summary of information about the range of access requirements that deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people may have; ideas about improving services to people who are deaf, deafened and hard of hearing; and suggestions to aid planning and commissioning.
