However, our work is not over. There’s still one final stage to go before the Bill is passed. We’ll keep pushing to make sure BSL stays in the Bill & becomes a real part of Scotland’s education system. Together, we’re building a more equal future for deaf children & young people.

We’re proud to have worked alongside fantastic organisations like @dbscotland, the deaf research team at Edinburgh Uni, Lothian Children's Deaf Club, @BDA_Scot, @DeafAction, @ALLIANCEScot, and @RNID to get to this point. And a big thanks to all the supportive @SP_ECYP MSPs.

This milestone is even more meaningful during #DeafAwarenessWeek, as we reflect on the importance of recognition, inclusion, and access for deaf children and young people. A huge thank you to the deaf young people, families, and campaigners who helped make this happen.

Our CEO, Susan Daniels, said: "This is a vital step towards ensuring deaf children and young people who use BSL are included and recognised in the Scottish education system. But there is still more to do to make sure this passes into law – and we will do it together.".

A big step forward for British Sign Language (BSL) in Scotland!.We’re delighted that the Scottish Parliament’s Education, Children & Young People Committee has approved amendments to include BSL in the Education (Scotland) Bill.

Deaf children and young people’s issues got a very positive reception at #ScotLab25 conference this weekend. The @ScottishLabour leadership highlighted the need to improve NHS workforce planning and tackle growing waiting times - and recognised this needs to include audiology.

Great to hear @jackiebmsp commit @ScottishLabour to bring down NHS waiting times - a key issue for #deaf children, young people & their families - at #scottishlabour25 in Glasgow. Looking forward to working with Jackie & @CMochan on how this can be done for paediatric audiology.

Powerful testimony from Chris at the Right to Rehab Scotland Fringe at #ScotLab25 conference in Glasgow on the difference rehab made to him after his stroke. As @CHSScotland have made clear, access to rehab should be a right across the board for both adults and children.

Great to catch up with @jackiebmsp at #ScotLab25 conference in Glasgow and update her on how @NDCS_UK are campaigning to make sure audiology services in Scotland meet the needs of #deaf children and young people.

This is a great outcome for Niamdh! We hope it’s a precedent other local authorities will now follow. Deaf children and young people should always be able to access the support they need without having to fight in the way Niamdh and her family have had to.
