Great news! Deaf children and young people in Scotland got an early Christmas present on 18th of Dec, when @JennyGilruth confirmed that @scotgov will amend the Education (Scotland) Bill to recognise the needs of learners and users of #BSL in Scotland’s education system. 1/3

[Adam Schembri @AdamCSchembri]

There's even been a paper exploring this very issue, and deaf colleagues, including @jahochcam, have led on complaints to journals about this in the past, and yet it's still a problem. Who is reviewing this material? Clearly no deaf academics! https://t.co/3hWJL7b5gw

[Prof Lorraine Leeson, PhD @leesonl]

Had a lovely message from a deaf person I’ve known for donkeys years who say an old #HandsOn programme from @MindtheGapFilms who spotted me & reminded me how youthful I once was 🤣🤣 .@tcdslscs @studies_centre @SenanDunne

@leesonl @MindtheGapFilms @tcdslscs @studies_centre Ah look at us! We were so carefree and full of innocence back in the day 😜

[Senan Dunne @SenanDunne]

Oh dear! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Alison @Deaf]

Qualifications Wales suspended GCSE BSL indefinitely. Instead they've come up with a fraction of a qualification which can be taught in as little as 5 hours by an unqualified "BSL teacher". It is meaningless, insulting and a tokenistic exercise. Trick or treat.
