The DfE has today published the subject content for the new GCSE in British Sign Language (BSL). This is a landmark moment one year after the 2022 BSL Act, and has come about as a result of active campaigning by the Deaf community. See ucl.ac.uk/pals/news/2023… DCAL

My dream since I started in BSL research many years ago.

'The Deaf community has gifted Whaikaha, the Ministry of Disabled People in New Zealand an NZSL name. It's the first Government agency to be given one, and the first to have a name in all three of the country's official languages'

Ann Jillings 💙 We're saddened by the lack of provision of BSL interpreters. At DCAL, we champion equity, inclusivity & equal access to events/resources. Organisations must meet ED&I obligations, especially when supporting young people.

BBCSeeHear hi, I’m campaigning with British Deaf Association NDCS for free BSL courses for parents of deaf children. Communication with your child shouldn’t have a price tag! Please help by retweeting this petition, thank you 🙏🏼 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6239…

Indeed Kate Rowley you smashed the audience! British Deaf Association #TakeBSLForward Deaf children must have early access to language “bilingual bimodal is the way forward “! Deaf people have valuable lived experience. Involve us! #BSL

I am thrilled to join the BSL Advisory Board. I hope for better BSL access to healthcare services and a voice for deaf people with disabilities and the Deafblind community. See comment for English translation and visual description.

BSL Advisory Board members revealed at British Deaf Association conference - limpingchicken.com/2023/03/17/bsl… DCAL Enormous congratulations to all and especially to Jo Atkinson, our DCAL colleague and friend

Katie Little John's presentation for me highlights that timing is everything. Deaf role models have such a positive influence on new parent's language choices at a time when they're surrounded by clinicians still favouring the medical model #BSL Conference British Deaf Association #BSL
