A look at funding issues for parliamentary candidates, a day at the vets, a visit to the first deaf women's professional rugby player, and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

Parliamentary election
There has never been a deaf signing MP in parliament. We look at access barriers to being elected with Kerena Marchant and David Buxton on
the campaign trail.

Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
We explore the Truth project, part of the government's independent enquiry into sex abuse and look at the ways in which Sign Health are supporting people who come forward.

A day at the vets
We spend a day with Julie Rutter, a veterinary nurse who achieved her lifelong dream of working with animals.

Plans for the '2 Deaf Foot' funds
We find out where the money raised by '2 Deaf Foot's epic journey from John O'Groats to Lands End will be spent by Sign Health and Deaf4deaf
who announce their new 'Talk More' service.

Professional rugby 7s
We spend a day in training with Jodie Ounsley, a multitalented athlete who has achieved her dream of becoming the first deaf women's
professional rugby player, playing rugby 7s

Family life with deaf triplets
Finally we join a special couple who gave birth to the first British deaf triplets, born minutes apart. We visit them at home to find out more about family life in threes.
