“Throughout the pandemic, Deaf women have not been able to access services via telephone helplines. This has added more barriers for Deaf women to come forward and ask for support....” – @SignHealth’s Marie Vickers on our #BSL service @SignHealthDA https://t.co/2hg5U0RFcJ

Thank you to Trinity School student Manny, who has nominated our #NewDeafAcademy appeal for a chance to be one of the school's chosen charities. If your school/ workplace has a chosen #charity & you'd like to nominate us, email Shelley [email protected] for information.
Big thanks to @johnnyr63 for popping in this morning to chat to Academy student William about his recent Rugby Deaf 7s triumph in Oz with the Welsh team, for @BBCSpotlight - they even had a little throw about! 😄
We're counting the days to #TEDxExeter 2018 with introductions to our speakers & performers, so we'd like to introduce Rebekah Afari, who was born profoundly deaf, but comes from a hearing family & her first language is @BritishSignBSL https://t.co/jYssE83ltQ #Exeter#BSL

Great to see letter in Times today from @NDCS_UK@SilentChildFilm crew and @SlyGilson family - action, not warm words, needed from Government on BSL GCSE
The Government's refusal to back a GCSE in British Sign Language is not only doing a great disservice to deaf schoolchildren, it is much, much more – it is insulting them.
My speech from yesterday's @HouseofCommons#BSL debate ↓
A disappointing response from the minister this afternoon - a British Sign Language GCSE will not be approved any time soon.
MPs rightly mentioned that next week is #SignLanguageWeek so the fight for equality will continue!
