UKCOD’s Special Interest Group is campaigning for the BSL Bill submitted to parliament by Rosie Cooper, Labour MP, to be amended to address the fact that only 4,000 deaf children out of 53,000 are learning BSL. The current BSL Bill must address this urgently. Stop BSL nemesis!

UKCOD initiated national campaign to encourage more Deaf students to embrace Further and Higher Education. Ask your local SenCo or Sensory team for more information or for UKCOD leaflet. Contact UKCoD for full guidance.

BSL Act Bill! It has to address the issue that the BSL is endangered. If neglected it will disappear. Already over 50 thousand deaf youngsters are non-BSL users. If you want to keep the language protect it. Support UKCOD’s campaign.

Following a joint campaign of UKCOD, RNID and SignHealth Ofcom confirmed that telecoms providers will offer 24/7 access to the emergency service via a video relay service (VRS) on both app and website. VRS allows a video call to a BSL interpreter, who then relays the call.

UkCoD welcomes decision from Ofcom after 18 months campaign. We recognise there is now a lot of work required over the coming year before the service is up and running. UKCoD is encouraged by the constructive work and trust Ofcom will continue to engage with Deaf community.

70% of participants in ‘RELAY’ survey experienced problems with contacting banks and GPs, who all refused to accept relay calls. UKCoD contacted FCA and NHS  to seek investigation into compliance to accessibility standards offered.
