discourses of linguistic deficiency are rife in England’s education system. rooted in classist, ableist, and racist assumptions about language, they frame marginalised children as responsible for their own struggles and deflect attention away from the state.

Well, that’s us now. What a wonderful Sign Language Week it has been. We hope you have enjoyed some of the content and stories we have produced to persuade even more people to take up learning Sign Language and more about deaf culture.  #SLW2024 #TimeToSign

In NI, there are 4,500 BSL users; that’s quite a community with a further 1,500 using Irish Sign Language. This makes it the 2nd most used language in the UK after English, so it’s well worth learning it.  Read our blog: https://t.co/XjrvZmnNq2 #SLW2024 #TimeToSign
