@SimonKirby @gab_hodge @EdinburghUni @BSL_EdinUni @EdinUniLEL Stellar addition to the @EdsignEdinburgh community which adds so many possibilities for interaction and collaboration! Congratulations, @gab_hodge! #BSLEnlightenment
I hope the newly-appointed Deaf Co-Chair of the Government’s BSL Advisory Board, @craigcrowley64 (https://t.co/pyOM5kzZqA), will make addressing the gaps in this vital demographic data an early priority. He can rely on my full support to see this done properly.👍🏽#BSLEnlightenment

Awesome labour of love by @LiamODellUK to live tweet the judicial review about the right to #BSL interpreting of Downing Street briefings yesterday. Fair play to you, Liam. The outcome of this process matters hugely for future access. #BSLEnlightenment
Congratulations @haughey_clare! Assuming that you'll inherit (from @MareeToddMSP) responsibilities relating to #BSL and the #BSLNationalPlan as part of this role, we look forward to working with you as a team specialising in BSL & applied sign language studies. #BSLEnlightenment
Absolutely honoured to have been nominated by @NicolaSturgeon to be Minister for Children & Young People. Thoroughly enjoyed my time as Minister for Mental Health - now looking forward to my new role 🏴
Full statement: https://t.co/IMqJ1IJ6bb
I hope there will be a hundred fantastic applications for this job. Not an easy job, but of pivotal importance in terms of delivering on the promises of the #BSLAct. It may not be glamorous or make headlines, but absolutely will transform lives for generations. #BSLEnlightenment
Scottish Government is recruiting for a BSL Policy Officer based in Edinburgh. To apply visit https://t.co/Xmddq2p5lv
@AdamCSchembri It used to be said, as I recall, that around 200 deaf people had trained with BSLTA/DUBSLTTC at Durham from the mid-1980s. But the UK has had a glaring hole where such a programme should be for far too many years. #BSLEnlightenment

In what sense, if any, has #BSL been “officially recognised” in the UK? A thread for #SignLanguageWeek #BSLRecognitionDay #BSLEnlightenment #WeAreBSL
Hurrah! Today’s the day when, 18 years ago, a UK Government officially recognised British Sign Language (BSL)! In existence for centuries, it was finally given due respect as a real & proper language. OR WAS IT? Sadly, no. Take a closer look. #SignLanguageAwarenessWeek 1/13
A British Deaf Association @BDA_Deaf poster campaign in 2000 famously suggested that successive UK Governments’ attitudes to BSL could be summed up with the sign below. It means ‘IDLE’ – but other interpretations are available. #SignLanguageAwarenessWeek #BSLEnlightenment 13/13
Five days left until the @Census2021 snapshot day! If you’re a BSL signer, pick the ‘Other’ option when stating your main language and write in ‘BSL’.

When I initiated the Deaf Nation conferences in 1997 and 1999, I really hoped they’d continue every two years thereafter in the UK. I wonder how things might have been different if the empowering dialogue they shaped had continued over the last two decades? #BSLEnlightenment
And so, this particular interdisciplinary research journey will continue. Feel free to join us as we go... #ToInfinityAndBeyond #BodyRepresentation #BSLEnlightenment 10/10
@HeriotWattBSL @JeminaNapier @rejadam @ASLIuk First results of @grahamhturner’s census work can be seen here: https://t.co/EaqmfVUCsw. Scotland’s 2011 census points to 3,871 deaf BSL signers, which indicates a population of 46,028 deaf BSL signers in the UK. Globally, that suggests over 17m deaf signers. #BSLEnlightenment
The @theSNP's wholehearted embrace of #BritishSignLanguage interpreting is good to see. If only all nations had got the message... #WhereIsTheInterpreter #BSLEnlightenment
Huge thanks to @lou_signs & @paulbelmontesli who probably appeared at #SNP20 more than everyone else combined with their epic shift providing BSL translation, helping to make this one of the most accessible party conferences anywhere in the UK
