What the petition asks
Ensure that at every public televised briefing undertaken by the British government, a sign language interpreter is present. This is to ensure those that are hard of hearing are not restricted in the time the information is received from the government, and doesn’t have to wait for a written record.
It’s important in such a turbulent time that individuals with all levels of accessibility have the exact same access to prompt information from the government.
