Course Content

'Everyone has the right to hear & to communicate.'

The Equality Act 2010 states that everyone should be treated equally and with 11 million people in the UK living with hearing loss, providing assisted hearing systems for customers, service users and staff offers a key opportunity for improved inclusivity of buildings.

The most common system to assist communication with those with impaired hearing is an Audio Frequency Induction Loop System (AFILS) - often known simply as 'Induction Loop'.

AFILS experts - Contacta - will present a clear and concise introduction to the technology, how it can be integrated into an audio/AV system and offer best practice advice for the specification and installation of different Induction Loop Systems to meet the needs of the huge variety of applications, environments and audience numbers.

Introduction to the new BS8300 Code of Practice

In addition to explaining the technology, we will also provide a detailed synopsis of the new BS8300 Code of Practice which specifies how buildings should be designed, constructed and maintained to provide accessible and inclusive environmens for disabled people.

Specifically we cover the detailed new guidelines for the specification and application of Assistive Hearing Systems - and the implications and opportunities for Induction Loops.
