Have you been harassed because you are deaf?

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) wants to know about cases of disability harassment. They have started a consultation and want to learn about people's experiences.

According to their website:

"If you have been harassed because of your disability, or someone close to you has been affected, we want to hear about your experience. We want to hear from people who are Deaf or disabled, including those with mental health conditions and long term health conditions, as well as their family, friends or associates. We want to know what happened and what public authorities and public transport operators did � or didn�t do � to help.

"Your experiences � positive or negative � will help the Commission to show what police, social services, schools, bus companies and other agencies can do to put an end to the harassment of disabled people in public places and behind closed doors. If you�re not sure what to tell us, we have a questionnaire to help get you started."

The EHRC has put information on the inquiry into BSL, which can be seen here.
