Recognise Makaton as a language in law

Petition Details

Makaton uses signs from BSL, which is recognised as a language in law, however, Makaton is not.

Additional Information

There are around 1 million users of Makaton in the UK, but we believe their ability to communicate with others, including professionals, in their day-to-day life is limited because it is not currently recognised as a language in law.

If Makaton was to be recognised as a language in law it we believe this would help make it more accessible for all who rely on it for their communication.
