๐ Another Win for Deaf Umbrella โ Raising the standard of Deaf support in work and education
We’ve just won Business Training and Education of the Year 2025 (Greater London) , and we’re not slowing down.
This latest award is our second major recognition this month for the work we do to train and support Communication Support Workers (CSWs) across the UK.
Just last week, we were named National Winners at the Independent Education Awards, and now we’ve added Business Training and Education of the Year (Greater London) to our growing list of honours. It’s an achievement that reflects our mission loud and clear: to raise the standard of Deaf support in both educational and workplace settings.
Because Deaf people deserve better than guesswork.
Recognised for making a real impact
The Business Awards UK panel recognised Deaf Umbrella for:
-
Enhancing employee skills
-
Improving performance
-
Creating long-term success through practical, effective training
This is about helping CSWs feel confident, clear in their role, and truly prepared to support Deaf students or Deaf colleagues from day one.
Real-life training for real-life support
At Deaf Umbrella, we don’t teach theory for theory’s sake. We build online, CPD-accredited courses that equip CSWs with the tools and knowledge they actually need on the job.
From understanding professional boundaries, to note-taking, to navigating self-employment and handling workplace nerves, every course is designed to close the gap that so many BSL learners fall into after their qualifications.
We don’t believe in vague advice.
We believe in giving support workers everything they need to walk into their role ready.
Colleges, employers, and students — This one’s for YOU
Whether you:
-
Manage CSWs in a college
