Our Services
BSL Scotland Act 2015
The BSL (Scotland) Act 2015 was passed in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 17th September 2015 and received Royal Assent from the Queen on 22nd October 2015.
The BSL (Scotland) Act puts a duty on Scottish Ministers to promote the use and understanding of British Sign Language (BSL) and requires Scottish Ministers to prepare and publish BSL national plans. The first national plan must be published by October 2017.
After the first National Plan has been published in October 2017, other public bodies such as local councils, health boards and other public bodies, and universities and colleges – will have to publish their “authority” plans by October 2018. These plans should follow the lead taken by the Scottish Government on the National Plan and use a similar template.
What this means for you – this means that services will need to be accessible for BSL users within the community.

I’m Diane Morton and I work in Glasgow for the BDA, on the Give Me BSL project. I have some exciting news for you about an upcoming Christmas event. We’re running a parents’ painting pottery workshop here in Glasgow on the 15th of December, from 11:30am to 3:00pm. This event is free for parents and children. Parents will get the chance to paint and talk to each other about BSL while the children, working in a separate group, will be able to make their own Christmas creations. The two groups will then come together to share their work. Don’t forget to bring a packed lunch! We have limited space on this workshop, so if you would like to come, please get in touch as soon as you can, and I will add you to the list. I’m looking forward to seeing you there! Goodbye.
Youth Christmas Party (7-18) is on Friday 7th December, 7pm till 10pm. Please put your child name in comment or mail Rachael if they like to attend.
