Require BSL and subtitles for parliamentary, government and political broadcasts

Petition Details

Create a law that requires all parliamentary, government, and party political broadcasts be include BSL and subtitles, regardless if pre-recorded or live. The public can access many council meetings via live streams and parliamentary proceedings via Parliament TV yet deaf people are often excluded.

Additional Information

It’s time that all those in politics and government, from political parties to local and national government, made all broadcasts accessible so deaf people can access and play part in our democratic society.
