What the petition asks
Being a child of Deaf Parents I am deeply passionate about having Sign Language involved in Schools.
With a population of 11 million Chilren Deaf or Hearing impaired in our Country I feel it would be of huge benefit to teach Sign language at a young age..

With alot of deaf Schools closing and Deaf Hearing impaired Children now being taught in mainsteam Schools with Classroom support.
Socially they are being affected..
Its a lonely place for Deaf Children Socially.
With a huge shortage of interpreters and some Deaf adults having to wait almost a week for support. I feel Children will enjoy sign language enough to encourage them to feel as passionate as myself and gain qualifications.
Lets make a bridge bring hearing and deaf together.
