Today in the House of Commons I urged @DWP to increase provisions for those who communicate using BSL. The @BDA_Deaf estimates there are over 80k Deaf BSL users in the UK & the Government must do all it can to ensure they are properly supported in these kinds of circumstances.

So important! If you uses British Sign Language please make sure you add this to the census. Last census recorded 15,000 which is a huge under representation of BSL users #Census2021 #deaf #bsl

350 responses so far after 2 days! Ideal is minimum 750 to capture at least 50% of registered profession. But the closer we get to 1500 the better! You know you can do it! Takes 15-20 mins & will help us to establish baseline for demographic profile of the SLTI profession in uk!

A statement from @ABSLTA (the Association of BSL Teachers and Assessors) on online BSL tutorials. Please be aware that many people who have set themselves up as BSL teachers online are not fluent signers nor properly trained teachers.

Why we should pay the same fee to Sign Language interpreters even if it’s via video interpreting.

Apologies to deaf followers. As I'm working from home, my videos haven't been subtitled and I know that provides difficulties for some of you. My plan is now to post unsubtitled at speed, then get my team to subtitle and repost that version asap.

UCL announced that the specialist deaf collection in the AoHL will be closed in August with the collection divided and the material archived. The impact will be enormous both on researchers and the outside users. Please contact [email protected] with your views. @UCLLibraries

Meet another of our amazing co-enquirers - Kieran. He's a deaf Teacher of the Deaf currently working in Scotland and he's looking forward to following the journeys of the deaf young people he meets in the READY study over the next 5 years. #TheReadyStudy #AreYouREADY #DeafFutures

Excellent article! Too many deaf children aren’t given an opportunity to learn BSL or reap the benefits of having a Deaf identity because they are “coping” in mainstream without peers and role models. Please retweet this article far and wide!

Excellent article about the future of #BSL and the #Deaf community and their importance to all deaf people

Replying to @HeriotWattBSL @bslinterpreter @BDA_Deaf @DCAL_UCL
One question: 'what is the impact on wellbeing of consistently being known through translation/ interpreting?' (reference to the @deaf_self project led by @JeminaNapier @RDsord & Alys Young @HeriotWattBSL & @UoMSORD) #translatingthedeaf self @DCAL_UCL #40yearsBSL #ESRCFestival
