Add British Sign Language to the national curriculum

Petition Details

We want the Government to add BSL to the school curriculum by making it a core subject for all students. British Sign Language is used by around 150,000 people, and being able to communicate with BSL users is important.

Additional Information

BSL is a useful skill to learn and master. This skill can be give great jobs opportunities as well such as; Teacher of the Deaf, Speech and language therapist, Sign Language Interpreter, Social Worker for the deaf, and Communication Worker (£27,303). The skill of knowing BSL not only means you can communicate more accessibly but gives you more job options.
