Ayrshire BSL Shared Local Plan 2018-24
The British Sign Language (BSL) (Scotland) Act 2015 requires public bodies in Scotland to publish plans every six years, showing how they will promote and support BSL.
This playlist contains a series of videos which cover our first BSL Local Plan developed in partnership with NHS Ayrshire & Arran, North, South & East Ayrshire Councils and North, South & East Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnerships.
You can also view more videos on this playlist.
The plan covers ten long term goals based on the national goals. These goals include, public services; early years and education; training and work; health, mental health and wellbeing; transport; culture and the arts; justice and democracy.
If you would like to discuss the BSL Plan or provide any comments, please contact doreen.wales@ayrshire.ac.uk
We are also committed to enabling access to Scottish public & voluntary sectors for BSL users and welcome the use of Contact Scotland BSL. You can get more information on this by clicking here.
