It is time to teach British Sign Language (BSL) in UK schools.
There are more than 900,000 people - 45,000 of them children - in the UK. Only about 151,000 people can "speak" BSL and 87,000 of these are deaf. Deaf people have a human right to be able to communicate. It is not a difficult lanuage to learn and should be widely taught in the UK
