That the Parliament recognises 18 March 2009 as British Sign Language (BSL) Recognition Day; commends Donaldson’s school in Linlithgow for its role as Scotland’s national school for children who are deaf or have severe speech and language difficulties; recognises the dedication of the staff in teaching BSL, which helps pupils transition into the community; encourages all local authorities to consider the range and quality of resources that Donaldson’s offers and how they could be used to benefit children and young people from their areas, and calls on the Scottish Government to continue to support the school in its vital role in Scotland.
