Application for Loan of Equipment

To make a referral for yourself or on behalf of a person who is deaf, you can contact the CDA's Technical Equipment Officer on telephone/textphone 01229 894645 (Barrow-in-Furness office) or telephone/textphone 01228 606764 (Carlisle Office).  Details will be required such as:  full name and address; date of birth; contact details; name and address of the GP; details of next-of-kin; reason for the referral; and state of health.

Alternatively, you can click on www.cumbria.gov.uk/socialservices/referrals and complete a referral form personally.

Once the details have been received, you will be contacted by our Technical Equipment Officer in due course.  There is a waiting list and so we will deal with the referral as quickly as we can.
