British Sign Language: national plan 2023 to 2029 - easy read
Sets out a range of government actions to tackle barriers faced by British Sign Language (BSL) users to help make Scotland the best place in the world for BSL users to live, work, visit and learn.
Access to employment
No One Left Behind is our plan for employability support in Scotland.
Employability means help getting a job.
Everyone should get the right advice and support to decide what job is right for them.
Our long-term goal
BSL users will get support to:
- develop their skills
- find the right route to employment
- get a job
- be the best they can be
- progress in their job
Actions
We will:
22. Develop ways for deaf and deafblind young people to:
- learn about getting a job
- learn about what a workplace will be like
- understand the support they can get including how to work with BSL/English interpreters
- develop their skills
23. Deliver employability services that support people to get and keep a job.
We will work with the Implementation Advisory Group to find ways to make it easier for BSL users to get employability support.
