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 👇

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 👇

Having worked in international business for 30 years, I know just how important it is to bring education and business together. Great to speak with @britishchambers about how we're transforming our skills system to spread opportunities to people across England.

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.
