From @forthone :
Every main political party in Scotland backing Niamdh Braid's campaign for free sign language tuition.
She calls for extra funding to allow every deaf child to get support from age 5.
Well done Niamdh!! @FifeCouncil@deafscotMedia

@JohnSwinney Continued facemasks in schools 😭😭 what about our Deaf children?
What additional supports are available here? GIRFEC? Support for Deaf children is like a postcode lottery!
Worried their friends won’t bother with them. Feeling scared & isolated because they can’t understand.
This is how some deaf and hearing impaired children have been feeling since face masks were made compulsory in schools. There’s more on the STV News at Six tonight.
As governments around the world give vital updates about coronavirus, spot the odd one out.
Unlike many countries, the British government is not providing an interpreter for people with hearing loss at their daily conferences.

As my MSP please contact Boris Johnston's office to insist that they have a BSL interpreter standing next to the PM or Health minister when they're making live public announcements #COVID-19 so the Deaf community can follow what is happening in BSL. Thanks.
It was lovely to meet Niamdh and her family and hear of the impressive campaign she has started. I will do all that I can to help along with @MareeToddMSP
