Why provide BSL?
Why provide BSL?
Many organisations expect Deaf BSL users to rely on lip reading, or reading written documents and captions on videos, however, this isn’t fully accessible. Only about 30% of spoken English can accurately be lipread which can mean a Deaf person misses out on 70% of what is being said to them.
For 87,000 BSL users, English is not their first language which can lead to difficulties in reading documents or captions on videos, especially as BSL has a distinctive grammar that is completely different to English. For an organisation to be fully accessible, they must understand the challenges when trying to communicate with Deaf BSL users in English, and provide BSL support.
- The UK has over 150,000 users of British Sign Language
- 87,000 of these people use BSL as their first language, not English
- For many Deaf BSL users, English is their second or third language
- BSL is a visual-gestural language with a distinctive grammar
- The UK Government recognised BSL as a language in March 2003
- In April 2022 The BSL Bill is given Royal Assent and becomes the BSL Act 2022
