Professional development plays an important role in strengthening deaf access across education, workplace, health, legal and community environments. Our Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes support Lipspeakers, BSL Interpreters, Interpreters for deafblind people, Notetakers, Speech to Text Reporters and Communication Support Workers to develop their competence and performance.
In 2021, following feedback from Language Service Professionals (LSPs), we delivered a series of CPD sessions designed to deliver learning in bite-sized chunks.
Our ‘Lite Bite’ series are open to all communication professionals and offer a range of webinar sessions on a specific topic. All webinars are one-hour long and take place once a month.
This page brings together all LiteBites sessions and specialist CPD activity delivered by Lipspeaker UK and our partners. It will grow over time as new programmes are added.
A six part online CPD series exploring how neurodiversity and deafness intersect and how communication professionals can respond with confidence and flexibility.
Participants will develop practical strategies to support clients with sensory, cognitive and processing differences, and will strengthen their understanding of inclusive practice across a wide range of settings.

We focus on:

• A welcoming and reflective learning space
All programmes are delivered online for flexible access and all include a certificate of completion.
Previous LiteBites programmes have explored LGBT plus awareness and working in police environments. We expect to reintroduce some of these topics in the future. Additional CPD programmes will also be added as our training offer expands.
This page will remain the home for all current and upcoming CPD activity, providing a single place for professionals to stay updated.
