“In collaboration with nursing home De Gelderhorst, G4S has adapted an existing learning journey into a bilingual training.” The learning journey is now also available for the deaf and hard of hearing.
This learning journey was nominated for the aNewSpring Awards 2021.
G4S develops safety trainings for businesses. Especially for emergency response, first aid and VCA, G4S is the place to go.
We believe that learning should be accessible to everyone, including hard of hearing and deaf people. G4S agrees and they have adapted a current learning journey so that it is also available in the main language of this group people.
In collaboration with nursing home De Gelderhorst and aNewSpring, the learning journey - based on the Emergency Response training program - is available with a deaf interpreter.
Many videos have been added that are supported by a deaf interpreter. The learning journey starts with an 'Imagine' scenario for each topic. Then a piece of theory is given about how to recognise an injury or illness and what help you should offer. The theory is interspersed with various questions and videos. The interpreter and the trainer work closely together to convey the material as clearly as possible.
“Emergency response is important for every organisation, even if the Dutch language is not the main language.”
Henk Altena, Business Unit Manager G4S Training & Safety
It is a great development that a learning journey in aNewSpring is being opened up to the deaf and hard of hearing. This contributes to equality between participants, one of the core values of De Gelderhorst. This development has already helped 100 participants and hopefully many more will follow!

How do you ‘unstick’ yourself when you realise the learning platform you’re using doesn’t support your vision and plans for the future? You migrate to a new learning platform. Not an easy task when you have over 130,000 users from over 200 different companies. But it’s exactly what the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) did when they migrated to aNewSpring.
