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.
Health, Mental Health + Social Care
Goal Six: Health and Mental Health and Social Care
BSL users will have access to information they need to live as healthy and active a life as they want to. They will also be able to make informed decisions that affect their lives.
