Last week we held the first ever BSL Advisory Board meeting to discuss implementing the BSL Act 🧏♂️
The Board are BSL users and experts, who met with the Minister for Disabled People to advise government on accessible communications and policy for Deaf BSL users.

Yesterday was #InterpreterAppreciationDay apparently. This is just so you know what we do when we're 'signing' in your meeting, event, performance. This is just the Eng to BSL bit. The #BSL to Eng, cross cultural, environment specific, etc stuff is extra.

Enjoying Scotland. Spent the day at Peebles with the research team @HeriotWattBSL @HeriotWattUni and @DeafAction @ASLIuk @NRCPD @BlackDeafUK and @IoCN_1 discussing research ideas. Looking forward to collaborating further and #TakingBSLForward #BSL2032

The UK’s first National BSL Day to “celebrate” the language will take place on 28 April, @BDA_Deaf has confirmed. The charity has also announced it is searching for the UK’s first Deaf Poet Laureate to be the “official poet of the BSL signing community”.

Did you know there are just 46 @NRCPD qualified lipspeakers in the UK? (Figure from NRCPD website)
Some lipspeakers are also qualified BSL Interpreters, thus referred to as ‘dual-registered’. Our website enables you to find the right lipspeaker for you: lipspeakingwithsign.co.uk/me…

Should VRS interpreters display their full names?
According to one of the VRS services, they do not do this due to GDPR but *I* can ask the interpreter for his/her name. 🤔🤔
Your thoughts?

Building in accessibility from the start is important and should be the norm.
We’re thrilled to see that @ITV have considered the accessibility of #BSL users, and we look forward to seeing them expanding their access services across the remaining platforms.⬇️

With the #BSL Act passing into law earlier this year, we are calling on the Government during @UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities to review their policies to ensure this country is a better place for #Deaf people to live.
