Precisely why we need #BSLinOurHands for every deaf child & their families so no one is left behind. BSL doesn’t discriminate. We are advocating for a bilingual future for all deaf children. Very proud of our Chair Dr Robert Adam (he/him) sign name 'R-A' 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 representing the BSL community. bda.org.uk/bsl-in-our-han…

We are thrilled the focus on BSL will continue next year with the launch of a new pan BBC BSL season which aims to celebrate BSL. There will be content across BBC platforms as well as online resources & material to help people learn to sign. Good luck Tasha #BSLinOurHands
