Masks, social distancing and lack of deaf awareness are just extra layers of inaccessible communication. Our Deaf community need #BSL Health Access as the bare minimum and @NHSEngland needs to include Deaf people as a priority. Please sign today: chng.it/qscjPNTR
Replying to @SignHealth
Please join us in calling on @NHSEngland to continue funding this vital service. Fund BSL Health Access - Sign the Petition! chng.it/qscjPNTR

@hayu_uk why do you not ensure all your programmes are captioned? Especially when one is featuring a deaf girl in it - it’s extremely annoying that I’m not getting my subscription’s worth #lackofaccessibility #inclusionmatters
