Sekondi Prisons trains officers in Ghanaian Sign Language

The Sekondi Prisons Complex has organised a two-day Ghanaian Sign Language (GhSL) training programme for officers to improve communication with persons with hearing impairments and promote inclusiveness within the correctional system.

A teacher from the Sekondi School for the Deaf facilitated the programme, introducing participants to the fundamentals of Ghanaian Sign Language and basic conversational skills.

The facilitator highlighted the importance of sign language in fostering effective communication and inclusivity, and indicated that certificates would be presented to participants at the end of the programme.
