University of Glasgow has launched an action plan for the deaf and hard of hearing community who rely on British Sign Language
The University of Glasgow has produced an action plan for the deaf and hard of hearing community who rely on British Sign Language.
Details of the plan and a suite of videos, signed in BSL, are available here.
Mhairi Taylor, Equality and Diversity Manager at the University, said:
As an institution, we are absolutely committed to reaching out to all, and we are delighted to be able to show through our BSL action plan that Glasgow welcomes people from the deaf and hard of hearing community. There are a number of videos on our website as well as the detailed action plan which the University has embraced. BSL is a very rich and vibrant language and I would encourage anyone, hearing or hard of hearing, to both have a look and perhaps even learn aspects of BSL. Being able to communicate with someone in their own language is a genuinely empowering thing.
