Introduction
About this Survey
The Scottish Government and the Minister responsible for British Sign Language want to know what you think of this draft British Sign Language National Plan 2017 to 2023.
Throughout this document British Sign Language will be referred to as BSL.
A group of people called the BSL National Advisory Group have been working together to help develop this Plan.
This Plan will set the rules for all national bodies in Scotland. This includes the Scottish Government.
A national body works with the Scottish Government to help the Government meets its aims.
The Plan has ten goals that the Scottish Government want to reach over a long time.
This Plan sets out what the goals are over the next six years, from 2017 to 2023.
Other Plans will be made for the future to meet all the goals the Scottish Government has in mind.
The Scottish Government want to know what you think about the goals they have set.
They want to know if you think they are the right goals and if you think the goals can be achieved.
There are some questions for you to answer.
The goals are set out in different sections. Please read each section and answer the questions at the end of each section.
