Historic Environment Scotland, which educates on and cares for Scotland’s environmental heritage, including The Engine Shed in Stirling has unveiled a new plan to promote equality, diversity and inclusion. Forth Valley Sensory Centre was delighted to be part of the consultation on the approach.
The report was published by HES at the end of last week, just in time for Deaf Awareness Week 2021. This was great timing as BSL is a key part of the inclusion aspect of the report.
Indeed, projects about the deaf community and the relationship between British Sign Language and the historic environment have been an important part of learning about equality across Scotland.
The Sensory Centre, Falkirk, was invited to be a partner in the consultation at the end of last year.
Jacquie Winning MBE, CEO, said:
“I was delighted when HES invited Forth Valley Sensory Centre to be involved in their Equality Consultation last November as it demonstrated a genuine desire to acknowledge and factor in the needs of people with lived experience of Sensory Loss to their Equalities Outcomes.

We look forward to holding group events and trips to HES buildings, especially the Engine Shed which hosted our Stirling Knit and Natter for a very long time!
