Around 10 million adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus
Yet only 150,000 people can use British Sign Language
That’s why from September next year, we’re introducing the BSL GCSE to help break down barriers for the deaf community 👇
It's two years since British Sign Language gained legal recognition
We want everyone to have the best opportunities to reach their full potential, through making this country the most accessible place in the world for disabled people to live, work and thrive
Today is
#BSLDay2024
, marking the 2-year anniversary of the British Sign Language Bill which was recognised in law in 2022.
It’s a great moment to look ahead to 2025 when the new BSL GCSE will be introduced in schools across the country 👇
This term, many pupils will be sitting exams, preparing for secondary school, and taking part in enrichment activities - it's important that they don't miss out.
Schools like

Two weeks ago, we hit our target of 150,000 more children benefitting from our expansion of childcare.
Today, I’m delighted that number is now over 195,000.
Our plan is working - helping hard working families with the cost of childcare and to get back into work.
Having hit the milestone of 150,000 children benefitting from this Government's expansion of childcare at the beginning of the month, we are delighted to see more than 195,000 2-yr-olds now receiving their 15 hours.
As of this month, eligible working parents of 2-year-olds are now accessing 15 hours of childcare.
Over 195,000 more children are benefitting, giving their parents the flexibility to balance work and family life.
