Excited for Deaf Awareness Week's theme, "Beyond Silence!" Join Dr. Katie Rogers and Dr. Kate Rowley at the BSL Conference to explore how early access to sign language breaks communication barriers and fosters connection from infancy. #DeafAwareness #BSLConference

It’s #DeafAwarenessWeek! I'm proud to be the first MP to ask a question in BSL & support the BSL Bill, now law. It ensures deaf people are heard in policy & practice. I’ll always use my role to push for a fair and inclusive society and I think everyone should learn a little BSL!
