I have recently created a comprehensive free resource guide to assist arts and cultural organisations in Scotland in making their events accessible through captions.   The guide may also be of interest to caption users interested in finding out how captioning works at both live events and scripted performances.

The guide covers areas like:   

    ✓ The case for captioning an event

    ✓ Who uses captions

    ✓ Survey results capturing deaf people’s attitudes towards captioning as an access measure at live   events

    ✓ The difference between 'live' and scripted captioning

    ✓ The different arts, cultural and performances spaces where captioning can be used

    ✓ The equipment needed for a captioned event

    ✓ Additional benefits of captioning your event -
such as multi-language captions for international audiences

    ✓ Testimonials from people with lived experience of using captions at live events and the perspectives of organisations who've provided captions at their events

Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.
