Access to British Sign Language – Women and Equalities Committee

Senior representatives from the BSL Advisory Board and the British Deaf Association will appear before the cross-party committee of MPs and sign their evidence, which will be spoken by interpreters. During the session, the Women and Equalities Committee will explore progress towards greater access to British Sign Language following the British Sign Language Act 2022. The Act recognises BSL as a language of Great Britain, places duties on government departments to promote and facilitate its use and requires the Work and Pensions Secretary to issue guidance to departments and report regularly. The session is likely to cover broader issues of concern to the Deaf community, as well as access to BSL in Parliament, BSL education, the potential impacts of AI on BSL and funding for Deaf sports and Deaflympians.
