Consultation on the Draft British Sign Language (BSL) National Plan 2017-2023: EasyRead version
We are seeking views on improving public services for BSL users.
Democracy
Goal Ten: Democracy
BSL users should be able to represent the people of Scotland as elected politicians at national and local level, and to serve on boards of our public bodies.
Scottish Ministers will reach their goals by:
51. Reporting on the Access to Elected Office fund to find out if this meets the needs of BSL users.
52. Offering advice and support to BSL users about how to take part in politics.
53. We will raise awareness of public appointments as a way to take part in public life.
BSL users should have full access to information about democracy, including voting.
Scottish Ministers will reach their goals by:
54. Providing better information about voting in BSL and reviewing if it has been effective.
55. We will encourage political parties to produce election information in BSL.
Goal Ten: Democracy
