Sign-VRS
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the development by the social enterprise company, Sign-VRS, of a new video relay service that enables Deaf people to call anyone using the service's BSL interpreters to translate the call; notes that Sign-VRS is the first dedicated video relay service in Scotland; further notes that Sign-VRS uses Sign-now.com technology, which is, uniquely in the United Kingdom, owned and managed by Deaf people, and, considers that the Scottish Government should support the wider use of this technology.
