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.

Fife Council♻️♻️ Some small changes are coming to your household recycling service to make it simpler to recycle. Cartons - such as juice, milk and soup cartons – will now go into your green recycling bin, rather than your grey bin. Some plastics that are very difficult to recycle, including carrier bags, cellophane, plastic film and wrappers will now go into your blue bin.To help with the changes to the materials accepted in recycling bins, a new recycling guide will be coming through doors in early Feb. The guide will also help Fifers make best use of recycling facilities www.fifedirect.org.uk/recyclingFind out more about this important effort to look after our environment! Drop-in sessions are being run to offer support around the changes. 14th Jan, 9am-1pm, Michael Woods Leisure Centre, Glenrothes 15th Jan, 1pm – 4pm, Kingsgate Shopping Centre, Dunfermline 16th Jan, 4pm-7pm, Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre, Cowdenbeath 18th Jan, 9am-1pm, Kingdom Centre, Glenrothes 21st Jan, 10am-1pm, East Sands leisure Centre, St Andrews 22nd Jan, 1pm-4pm, Tesco Duloch, Dunfermline 23rd Jan, 2pm-5pm, Leven Library & Customer Service Centre, Leven 24th Jan, 9am-12pm, Lidl, Cupar 25th Jan, 1pm–4pm, Morrisons, St Andrews 29th Jan,1pm-4pm, Mercat Shopping Centre, KirkcaldyThese changes are coming after we signed Scotland’s Household Recycling Charter, which aims make recycling services more consistent and increase the quality of recycling collected.
