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.

52. Offering advice and support to BSL users about how to take part in politics.
