We attended the National Disabled Police Association and NPCC Conference last week and are proud to say that our very own Deborah Lush won the 'Volunteer With Diverse Abilities' Award! A very well deserved winner and a fantastic advocate for the Deaf community. Well done Deborah

Great to meet up with members of the Deaf community yesterday with Trish, our PLOD officer from @swadresponse, Grace, our PLOD officer from the South Derbys' Neighbourhood Safeguarding Team, and our @DerbysPLOD volunteer, Deborah from @DeafinitelyW🙂

So, Friday 28th January saw a HUGE step towards making BSL a legal requirement. A historical moment for BSL users all over the UK! BSL is one step closer to being legally recognised! #BSLActNow #BSL #DerbyshirePLOD #BritishSignLanguage

Tomorrow, Labour MP Rosie Cooper will bring forward her BSL Bill for its second reading in Parliament.
If the Bill passes into law, a BSL Act would secure the legal status and increase public awareness of BSL.
