Goal Three: Education
Children and young people who use BSL will reach their full potential at school.
Scottish Ministers will reach these goals by doing the following:
14. Work with the General Teaching Council for Scotland to remove barriers for BSL users who want to register as a teacher
15. Work with the General Teaching Council for Scotland to update guidance and BSL qualifications
16. Work with Scottish Qualifications Authority on a potential SQA Award in BSL
17. Make sure schools and councils have up to date BSL guidance and training materials.
Parents who use BSL will have the same opportunities to be involved with their children's education as all other parents
Scottish Ministers will reach these goals by doing the following:
18. Make sure guidance is given to schools and councils to consider the needs of parents who use BSL
19. Look at how parents who use BSL can be more involved with their childrens' schools.
That BSL will could be offered to children at school as a language.
Scottish Ministers will reach this goal by:
20. Telling schools that they can offer BSL as a language
21. Find out which schools offer BSL as a language each year
22. Teachers of BSL will share knowledge of teaching methods. Teachers will have written guidance on teaching BSL.
