We intend to add this feature to our website as soon as we can. Until then, here is a little about British Sign Lanuage....


BSL access on the web
...Making websites accessible to the deaf

The Internet is perfect for communication in BSL – a visual language. Many deaf people find English difficult to read, and prefer communication in their native sign language.

British Sign Language is the preferred language of about 70,000 deaf people in Britain. With family, friends, professionals and students of BSL, the number of people using BSL daily is probably over 250,000. BSL is completely different from English. It has its own grammar, word order and linguistics. Sign language is growing in popularity – and visibility. Other European countries have also started to officially recognise their indigenous sign languages after campaigns by the Deaf community.

We intend to add this feature to this website as soon as we can.
