Why provide information in British Sign Language?

For many Deaf people, British Sign Language is their first or preferred language. While written English works well for many, it is not everyone’s first language and can sometimes create barriers to accessing important information.

Providing information in BSL helps ensure Deaf people can engage with your organisation in a language that is natural and accessible to them.

By offering BSL translations, you can:

• Make your information accessible to Deaf BSL users
• Demonstrate your commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion
• Improve communication with customers, clients, patients and service users
• Help meet accessibility responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010
• Build trust with the Deaf community
• Reach a wider audience through inclusive communications
• Show that everyone is valued and welcomed

Accessibility isn’t simply about meeting legal responsibilities, it is about ensuring everyone has equal access to information.

What can we translate?

Our BSL Translation Service can be used for almost any type of communication, including:

• Website pages
