What the petition asks
Add BSL as to the national curriculum so that all school children are taught how to use BSL. We believe this will change our country for the better.
I really want the Government to do this because I have a relative who is profoundly deaf, and I have witnessed the exclusion that deaf and hard of hearing people face on a daily basis. I have witnessed people living in such a busy and loud world, yet hear nothing but silence. I have witnessed a country that does not know how to communicate with our deaf peers and we are supposed to be a country of inclusion.
