Include British Sign Language in the national curriculum.

Petition Details

If we introduced BSL into the national curriculum, it would not just benefit the deaf people across the UK, but it would also greatly benefit us all.

BSL and deaf awareness would be used more and would introduce people to a new form of language rather than verbal –visual. (Visual Language Skills)

Additional Information

It opens up opportunities

There are more than 800,000 deaf people in the U.K. Including BSL in the national curriculum would enable millions of children to learn BSL and enable the learning of visual laungauge skills.
