Today in the House of Commons I urged @DWP to increase provisions for those who communicate using BSL.
The @BDA_Deaf estimates there are over 80k Deaf BSL users in the UK & the Government must do all it can to ensure they are properly supported in these kinds of circumstances.
So important! If you uses British Sign Language please make sure you add this to the census. Last census recorded 15,000 which is a huge under representation of BSL users #Census2021#deaf#bsl
Would you like to be part of ground-breaking new research that follows #deaf young people as they become independent adults?

350 responses so far after 2 days! Ideal is minimum 750 to capture at least 50% of registered profession. But the closer we get to 1500 the better! You know you can do it! Takes 15-20 mins & will help us to establish baseline for demographic profile of the SLTI profession in uk!
