Scottish Government’s Draft British Sign Language (BSL) National Plan is now open for consultation…
The Scottish Government has opened the consultation on the Draft British Sign Language (BSL) National Plan for the next three months until Wednesday 31 May 2017.
This draft plan covers the whole of the Scottish Government and over 50 national public bodies that Scottish Ministers have responsibility for. Other public bodies, including local authorities and regional NHS boards, will publish their own BSL plans next year. This first BSL National Plan will cover the next six years to 2023.

Anyone in Scotland can contribute to the consultation. Please spread the word and forward the email on to your colleagues, contacts’ list and most importantly members of BSL communities throughout Scotland.
There will be a number of consultation events taking place around Scotland. We will also have some themed consultation events – we’re currently looking at 1.) Education; 2.) Health; 3.) Mental Health; 4.) Justice; 5.) Transport and 6.) Employment. If you would like more information, please get in touch with us or check out both DSP website or Facebook page.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity for your views to be heard by the Scottish Government and Public Bodies in Scotland.
