British Sign Language (BSL): National Plan 2017 to 2023
Plan setting out actions to help ensure deaf and deafblind BSL users are fully involved in all aspects of daily and public life.
Post-School Education
Our long-term goal: BSL users* will be able to maximise their potential at school, will be supported to transition to post-school education if they wish to do so and will receive the support they need to do well in their chosen subject(s).
By 2020, Scottish Ministers will:
25
Expect all colleges and universities will publish
BSL plans, setting
out how students who use
BSL are supported,
with a clear measurable commitment to improvement where necessary.
These plans link with college and university outcome agreements and
will be reviewed annually by the Scottish Funding Council (
SFC), to ensure
that inequalities experienced by D/deaf and Deafblind
BSL students are
being addressed.
26
Establish a steering group to help colleges and universities
develop their own
BSL plans. This
will be run by the Scottish Funding Council (
SFC), will
involve
BSL users*, and
will include assessing what further guidance colleges and
universities need to ensure they are clear about their
responsibilities to
BSL users* leaving
school and going on to further or higher education.
27
Offer accessible advice and guidance to students who use
BSL on funding
packages available through the Student Award Agency Scotland (
SAAS).
