Campaign was led by the British Deaf Association (BDA), working collaboratively with other deaf organisations such as RNID, Royal Association for Deaf people (RAD), Signature, Institute of British Sign Language (iBSL), SignHealth, the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS), National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD), and Black Deaf UK. These organisations represent the diversity of the Deaf community in the UK. Together, we successfully campaigned for the BSL Act 2022 which comes into force on Tuesday 28th June 2022.</p> <p>The Act will create greater recognition and understanding of BSL, and inclusion and equality for BSL users by:</p> <ul> <li>Legally recognising BSL as a language for England, Wales, and Scotland.</li> <li>Requiring government departments to report on how they are promoting and facilitating the use of BSL.</li> <li>Providing guidance to government departments and public bodies on how to meet the needs of people who use BSL as their first or preferred language.</li> </ul> <p>Now that we have the BSL Act 2022, we will continue working with the other organisations involved in the campaign to ensure the Government meets their commitments to the Act. This includes:</p> <ul> <li>Establishing a non-statutory Advisory Board where representatives of the Deaf community can advise public services</li> <li>Increasing the number of registered interpreters</li> <li>Improving Access to Work provision for claimants and employers.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h4>Timeline of the BSL Act</h4> <ul> <li>18 March 2003: UK Government first formally recognised BSL as a language. It also promised to investigate a legal status for BSL.</li> <li>18 May 2021: BDA launched the BSL Act Now! campaign with support from across the sector.</li> <li>16 June 2021: The BSL Bill was introduced into the House of Commons by the Labour MP, Rosie Cooper. Rosie is a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) herself, considers BSL her first language, and is well placed to understand the barriers that BSL users face.</li> <li>18 March 2022: An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people attended a rally in Trafalgar Square, London, and the Bill completed its passage through the House of Commons unopposed.</li> <li>27 April 2022: The Bill completed its passage through the House of Lords unopposed and is set to become law.</li> <li>28 April 2022: The BSL Bill is given Royal Assent and becomes the BSL Act 2022.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h4>What happens next?</h4> <ol> <li>The BSL Act 2022 will come into force on 28 June 2022.</li> <li>The BDA will host a Zoom webinar on the 28 June 2022 to explain what happens next and to answer questions from the Deaf community. You can register for this webinar by going to <a href="/bsl-act-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bda.org.uk/bsl-act-day</a></li> <li>The BDA will be consulting with the BSL Core Group about the establishment of a BSL Alliance to provide support to the non-statutory Advisory Board.</li> <li>A BSL Alliance could be made up of national, regional and local organisations across Great Britain.</li> <li>The BDA’s mission is to Preserve, Protect and Promote BSL. We will closely monitor the implementation of the BSL Act.</li> </ol> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </section><section class="fw-main-row-custom fw-section-no-padding auto fw-section-position-front tf-sh-cd497753aa5ee7d24d7da1ec32e8ef78" > <div class="fw-container-fluid" > <div class="fw-row"> <div id="column-67e6dcb109669" class="fw-col-sm-6 tf-sh-32cff178a257e045664b8b85a7f0d8e0 fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-video tf-sh-4c710fa4274feb1c9e1d112acb5788ac " > <div class="fw-wrap-boxed-media fw-wp-embed-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="BSL Bill Annoucement" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/703765103?h=c2351a6a02&dnt=1&app_id=122963" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div id="column-67e6dcb10a008" class="fw-col-sm-6 tf-sh-90af7c7113f268d0af697f5212354692 fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-heading fw-heading-left fw-heading-with-subtitle tf-sh-42a8fa138fdd5d698e9f2d164dc0ade4" > <h2 class="fw-special-title">We have a BSL Act 2022!</h2> <div class="fw-special-subtitle"><br />Wednesday 28th April</div> </div><div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div><div class="fw-text-box tf-sh-d768bf03f3f15c8565c84b61c32b4bb7 " > <div class="fw-text-inner"> <p>The 2021–22 session of the UK Parliament was brought to a close ("prorogued") today.

The language was formally recognised by the UK government in 2003 but still does not have full legal status, meaning many Deaf people are unable to access essential information and services in their first language.</p> <p>Campaigners – including <em>Strictly Come Dancing</em> 2021 winner, Deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis – and charities supporting the BSL Act Now! campaign are celebrating the victory and calling upon MPs and ministers to get the Bill over the line.</p> <p>The Bill still has to complete its passage through the House of Commons and the House of Lords. If passed, a BSL Act would increase both the official status and public awareness of BSL. Government Departments and public bodies would also be required to adhere to and report their performance against new guidance, setting out how they must meet the needs of BSL users.</p> <p>The Bill was presented as a Private Member’s Bill by Labour MP Rosie Cooper, who is a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) and considers BSL her first language. The Bill was passed unanimously.</p> <p>Rosie has worked closely with Deaf sector organisations from the BSL Act Now! Campaign coalition, led by the British Deaf Association, including RNID, the Royal Association for Deaf People, SignHealth, National Deaf Children’s Society, Black Deaf UK, Signature, iBSL and the National Register of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD).</p> <p>Speaking to <em>The Big Issue </em>this month<em>, </em>Rose Ayling-Ellis said that achieving legal recognition for BSL would be ‘emotional’, as ‘a lot of people don’t realise how much of a fight the deaf community have had’.<br /> <br /><strong>David Buxton, Chair of the British Deaf Association, said: </strong></p> <p><em>“This Bill has been nineteen years in the making. Deaf people in Britain never gave up hope that their language would one day be not only recognised in law, but also protected and promoted so that Deaf people are finally able to access information and services and achieve their potential on an equal basis with their fellow hearing citizens. I now call upon Ministers and MPs to do everything their can to get the British Sign Language Bill to Royal Assent in this parliamentary session.”</em><br /> <br /><strong>Mark Atkinson, Chief Executive of RNID, said:</strong></p> <p><em>“This is a momentous day for the Deaf community where we celebrate moving a massive step closer to full legal recognition for BSL. We are thrilled that the Bill has been approved in principle by MPs and will now move onto the next stages of the legislative process.</em></p> <p><em>“The Bill includes important mechanisms which will provide government departments and public services with guidance explaining how they are required to meet the needs of BSL users. This will help ensure BSL users are fully included in society.</em></p> <p><em>“We celebrate with the Deaf community today and we hope parliamentarians will now give Rosie Cooper all the support she needs to get this Bill passed into legislation and give BSL and deaf people the recognition they deserve.”</em><br /> <br /><strong>Lindsay Foster, Chief Executive Officer at Signature, said:</strong></p> <p><em>“Today is a great day for Deaf people across the UK as we move forward towards seeing BSL getting full legal recognition.</em></p> <p><em>“We are proud to have played a part in the campaign, which today has made a huge step in the right direction to breaking down communication barriers for all, which the sector has pulled together to achieve.</em></p> <p><em>“We look forward to continuing working with colleagues across the sector to get this through the final stages and this along with the continued positive developments towards GCSE in BSL will make a significant difference to so many people’s lives.”</em><br /> <br /><strong>Rosie Cooper MP, said:</strong></p> <p><em>“I am delighted that the Bill has passed this huge hurdle. Deaf people have been waiting for 230 years for the legal recognition of BSL, and that goal is now in sight.</em></p> <p><em>“I am glad the Government have agreed to support this Bill, which I hope will allow it safe passage to be made into law.”</em><br /> <br /><strong>ENDS</strong></p> <p>To request an interview with a spokesperson, please contact Lauren Harris, PR & Communications Consultant, British Deaf Association: 07861 035699 / <a href="mailto:lauren.harris@bda.org.uk">lauren.harris@bda.org.uk</a>.</p> <p>For more information, please contact: <a href="mailto:Rebekah.mckinstry@rnid.org.uk">Rebekah.mckinstry@rnid.org.uk</a>.</p> </div> </div><div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div><div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div><div class="fw-heading fw-heading-left tf-sh-fc34193f2fbfca3df4a6574e5a6b5eef" > <h3 class="fw-special-title">Notes to editors:</h3> </div><div class="fw-text-box tf-sh-04db9ab7597aff93e178e0c6ab487544 " > <div class="fw-text-inner"> <p>The Big Issue article featuring Rose Ayling-Ellis - <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bigissue.com_culture_tv_rose-2Dayling-2Dellis-2Dsuddenly-2Dit-2Dbecame-2Dquite-2Dcool-2Dto-2Dbe-2Ddeaf_&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=ZX0MNZ9o9vglfoyekrvmYTDAit17Yz7dN2y8pLToH7k&m=oR7uMiBbQr9KpyntqxvdMYocaQSGV207_7LRvTtPvkU&s=FY_08IjIa0ZWE_x4beNGB0lKMI4Ub7I9FOLD2INMceY&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.bigissue.com/culture/tv/rose-ayling-ellis-suddenly-it-became-quite-cool-to-be-deaf/</a></p> </div> </div><div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div> <div class="fw-divider tf-sh-827c64378d67186256116efbd55a9643 fw-divider-align-left fw-line-solid fw-divider-line space-sm fw_theme_border_only_color_5" style="width:25%; " ></div> <div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div><div class="fw-heading fw-heading-left tf-sh-57525f9d4880b2091f497f656efb2e69" > <h4 class="fw-special-title">BSL Act Now!

Signing members of the Deaf community describe themselves as ‘Deaf’ with a capital ‘D’ to express their pride in their Deaf identity (as opposed to lower-case “deaf”, which focuses on the medical condition of deafness rather than the cultural and linguistic identity of a Deaf person, a.k.a. Deafhood.)</p> <p>BSL involves a combination of hand shapes and movements, body movements, lip patterns, facial expressions and eye gaze. It has its own grammar, vocabulary and syntax and is distinct from English and from other sign languages such as American or Irish Sign Language.</p> <p>British Sign Language is a full, rich language in its own right that is part of a unique cultural heritage and one of the UK’s indigenous languages.</p> </div> </div><div class="fw-divider-space space-sm clearfix" ></div><div class="fw-heading fw-heading-left tf-sh-b973fe8324fe2cae70c6c1810372bd59" > <h4 class="fw-special-title">How to learn British Sign Language</h4> </div><div class="fw-text-box tf-sh-ad2ceff86a0ee824fb1a7224ecc2aeff " > <div class="fw-text-inner"> <p>The best way to learn BSL is to take a course taught by a qualified BSL tutor who is fluent in the language.

Government Departments and public bodies would also be required to adhere to new guidance, setting out how they must meet the needs of the estimated 87,000 BSL users in the UK.</p> <p>Should the Bill pass the second reading on 28 January, it will go through to committee stage in February and then a final (third) reading in March. If passed, a BSL Act will mark a historic milestone for Deaf people across the United Kingdom.</p> <p>If BSL were to finally receive recognition and legal protection, charities and organisations supporting the BSL Act Now! campaign hope it would lead to wider change across society, giving Deaf people to full and equal access to education, employment, public services such as the NHS, opportunities to follow and participate in political debates and issues, sit on a jury, and play a greater role in their local communities.</p> <p>Across the UK, we see examples every day of the challenges that Deaf people face, from Francesca Bussey - who had to tell her own father in hospital that he was dying as a qualified BSL interpreter was not provided - to Deaf schoolboy and campaigner Daniel Jilling’s - who was unable to do a GCSE in his preferred language, BSL, as it is not offered as an option in school. Even the Prime Minister’s Office failed to provide a BSL interpreter for public COVID-19 announcements, causing thousands of deaf people to miss out on vital health information which was ruled to be a breach of the Equality Act.</p> <p>The British Deaf Association (BDA) launched the BSL Act Now! campaign on 18 March 2021 as part of Sign Language Week. The campaign called for Deaf people to write to their MPs, asking for them to introduce a BSL Bill should their name be drawn out of the Private Member’s Bill ballot. Nearly 90% of MPs received a letter from their Deaf constituents.</p> <p>In June 2021, Rosie Cooper’s name was drawn, and she confirmed she would take forward a BSL Bill. Cooper’s parents were both Deaf and her first language was BSL.</p> <p><strong>David Buxton, Chair for the British Deaf Association</strong> said:</p> <p><em>“18 March 2003 was when the UK Government first formally recognised British Sign Language as a language in its own right. It also promised to investigate a legal status for BSL. Nineteen years on, we’re still waiting. Enough is enough! We are tired of being excluded from playing a full role in society.</em></p> <p><em>“Deaf people still do not have access to the same essential information and services that are available to the hearing population. The Equality Act does not cover linguistic rights. We are forced to rely on inadequate disability discrimination legislation to access information in our own language.</em></p> <p><em>“British Sign Language is an indigenous language of the UK and should be accorded the same legal protection as Welsh and Scottish Gaelic.”</em></p> <p><strong>Mark Atkinson, Chief Executive at RNID</strong>, said:</p> <p><em>“RNID and our supporters know how important it is to be part of the BSL Act Now! campaign, which we hope will secure full legal recognition for British Sign Language. BSL is the first language of 87,000 Deaf people in the UK, and this Bill represents a unique opportunity to recognise their language, history and culture, and help ensure BSL users are fully included in society.</em></p> <p><em>“We’re pleased to be alongside other charities working with Deaf people in the fight to bring about this momentous change. We hope parliamentarians will support Rosie Cooper to get the Bill over the line and give Deaf people the recognition they deserve.”</em></p> <p>Nine Deaf sector organisations have come together representing the diversity of the Deaf community in the UK. They are united in calling for a BSL Act to achieve legal status for British Sign Language as the primary language of the Deaf community in the United Kingdom.</p> <p>In late 2021, Deaf trailblazer Rose Ayling-Ellis’ glittering success on BBC <em>Strictly Come Dancing</em> got British Sign Language into every newspaper, every TV channel and on radio stations across the country. It started a conversation and opened many people’s eyes to the existence of British Sign Language and the obstacles faced every day by Deaf people in the UK. Rose’s achievement showed that Deaf people can achieve anything when those obstacles are removed – for example, by providing a qualified BSL interpreter.</p> <p><strong>Rose Ayling-Ellis said</strong> in this month’s <em>The Big Issue</em>:</p> <p><em>“I’m backing [the Bill] because this is my language. The fact that my country doesn’t see it that way is really sad and means we don’t get the respect we deserve, and the language deserves”.</em></p> <p><em>“BSL is not an official language, legally, in this country. Which is outrageous. Because it is such a beautiful, rich language with its own structure, its own grammar, its own slang. It’s even got accents.”</em></p> <p>On Friday 28 January, BSL Act Now! is holding a rally on Parliament Square Garden, where we encourage the Deaf community and their hearing allies to come to and show their support for the Bill. All are welcome to come along and show their support for the Bill between 11:30am and 2:30pm.</p> <p>We are also asking everyone to write to their MP asking them to support the second reading of the bill on Friday 28 January, share stories of the challenges they may have faced due to lack of access to public services in BSL and raise awareness by sharing photos on social media with the hashtags #BSLBill and #BSLActNow.</p> <p>This Bill presents a real opportunity for change, to break down communication barriers and to give Deaf people the recognition, inclusion, and equality that they deserve.</p> <p><strong>END</p> <p></strong></p> <p>For press & media enquiries, please Lauren Harris - <i>PR & Communications Consultant</i> at <a href="mailto:Lauren.Harris@bda.org.uk">Lauren.Harris@bda.org.uk</a></p> <p> </p> <h4><strong>Note to editors</strong></h4> <p>  </p> <ul> <li>The Big Issue article featuring Rose Ayling-Ellis - <a href="https://www.bigissue.com/culture/tv/rose-ayling-ellis-suddenly-it-became-quite-cool-to-be-deaf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.bigissue.com/culture/tv/rose-ayling-ellis-suddenly-it-became-quite-cool-to-be-deaf/</a></li> <li>BBC Article (Francesca Bussey) - <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-59733533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-59733533</a></li> <li>BSL Bill Rally outside Parliament - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/978542252760450" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/events/978542252760450</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="fw-row"> <div id="column-67e6dcb116e89" class="fw-col-sm-12 tf-sh-a88535d9aa33c6147b9cd1386a4fc164 fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-divider-space space-md clearfix" ></div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </section><section class="fw-main-row-custom fw-section-no-padding auto fw-content-vertical-align-middle fw-section-position-back tf-sh-667c282df5b124f31de98b5ace79d62a" > <div class="fw-container-fluid" > <div class="fw-row"> <div id="column-67e6dcb1178e9" class="fw-col-sm-12 tf-sh-ce4813e0d06d10caa2ec8bfca67a5a1d fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-video tf-sh-7e67c25760c8f8024d6db6b3977e324b " > <div class="fw-wrap-boxed-media fw-wp-embed-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/669400533?h=04c6940550&dnt=1&app_id=122963" width="1920" height="1080" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="fw-row"> <div id="column-67e6dcb11843d" class="fw-col-sm-12 tf-sh-781d62203347f274b6b246e2eb83197c fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-divider-space space-md clearfix" ></div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </section><section class="fw-main-row-custom fw-section-no-padding auto fw-content-vertical-align-middle fw-section-position-back tf-sh-7c45b1656b7a082fb1c5ef16b6b60d01" > <div class="fw-container-fluid" > <div class="fw-row"> <div id="column-67e6dcb118e6d" class="fw-col-sm-12 tf-sh-632fbeef5738788dcc7648ab1ca6fc27 fw-col-no-padding" > <div class="fw-wrap-col-inner clearfix " > <div class="fw-col-inner"> <div class="fw-heading fw-heading-left tf-sh-9d32f320cbfa2faacc759c4b6f3c11a8" > <h2 class="fw-special-title">BDA’s BSL Act Now!

The meeting will be attended by a number of Government Departments at the ministerial level and a representative from the British Deaf Association.</p> <p>We have begun creating campaign resources and support materials to provide the campaign with the best chance of success in January 2022.</p> <p>Rosie Cooper MP said: “<em>Together we are working really hard to ensure this Bill will make a real difference to Deaf sign language users lives.

There are pockets of support here and there – such as for the BSL (Scotland) Act 2015, a GCSE BSL, a Proposal for a BSL Bill in Wales and promising signs of a Sign Languages Bill for Northern Ireland.  But this is not enough. More work is needed to persuade Government Ministers realise that Deaf people who use sign language should be accorded the same legal protection as Welsh and Scottish Gaelic speakers.</p> <p><strong>Deaf people still do not have access</strong> to the same information and services that are available to the hearing population. Deaf people are forced to rely on inadequate disability discrimination legislation to access information in their own language. For example, Deaf people are denied the right to undertake jury service, service providers deny Deaf people’s requests for a BSL/English interpreter, local education authorities deny parents’ requests for BSL qualified support staff assisting Deaf children, and more.</p> <p><strong>This will be the prelude to a call for action to BSL supporters to lobby their own MPs</strong> <strong>for a UK-wide BSL Act</strong>. From 18th March to 20th May 2021, 1,356 Deaf and BSL supporters wrote to their MPs – 572 in total - to ask if they would be willing to introduce a BSL Bill should their name be drawn out of the Private Member’s Bill ballot. This Ballot took place on 20th May 2021, drawing 20 names out of 459 MPs. We have contacted most of these MPs and hopefully one of them will decide to introduce a BSL Bill. (The decision will be known on 16th June 2021.) We are now calling upon Deaf and BSL supporters to send another email letter to their MPs about the Early Day Motion (see above). This is all part of our planning to lobby MPs to support a BSL Bill, work on strengthening our campaign, and, continuing our quest for a BSL Act.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </section></div> </div>  <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer fw-footer " itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/WPFooter"> <div class="fw-footer-widgets footer-cols-3"> <div class="fw-inner"> <div class="fw-container"> <div class="fw-row"> <div class="fw-col-md-4 fw-col-sm-4"> <aside id="custom_html-2" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html"><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><p> </p> </div></aside><aside id="media_image-3" class="widget widget_media_image"><img width="200" height="61" src="https://bda.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/FR_RegLogo_WO_HR-Optimized.png" class="image wp-image-15270 attachment-full size-full" alt="" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></aside> </div> <div class="fw-col-md-4 fw-col-sm-4"> <aside id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"><h2 class="widget-title"><span>BDA Head Office</span></h2> <div class="textwidget"><p>We welcome your feedback and comments.
