So what has changed? Well, the government has invested some much-needed money
into training more deaf BSL tutors and BSL/English
interpreters. But many believe that BSL needs to be given legal
protection, guaranteeing that BSL users have the equal access to information,
services and opportunities, including education, health care and employment.
All the same, recognition of BSL has to worth celebrating – and at the
BSL recognition event in Preston, the University of Central Lancashire deafsociety
got straight down to business by going on a pub crawl. On the way they planned
to teach bar staff some basic but crucial BSL.
For the more sober, events at the uni included talks on BSL recognition and
progress over the last couple of years, plus arts and music workshops and an
evening show.
