Well done! Great news! Well deserved ! Xxx

Hugely proud of Ben Fletcher-Harris and his amazing colleagues The University of Edinburgh who developed a new glossary of #computing signs in #BSL to empower #Deaf people working in (or learning about) #tech to discuss it in their own language. A richly deserved award. Congratulations! 👋🏻👋🏻 #BDA2023

BSL Glossary data team won British Data Award last night! Thanks to strong collaboration with Gary Quinn ⁦Heriot-Watt University⁩ ⁦Cameron⁩ Sheila Mackenzie and Kate Farrell! ⁦EdSign.Edinburgh⁩

SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!! The AMAZING Dr Audrey Cameron, a Deaf Chemist, is coming to Cork to do a science show for deaf adults. She'll be doing it in BSL but we have our own Senan Dunne doing BSL-ISL interpreting. Do not miss this! It Dr Audrey Cameron, OBE, HonFRSC. Kindly supported by @scienceirel.

Every child deserves support. We can't overlook those wrongly diagnosed or left out. Let's ensure access to BSL lessons, but also consider other solutions for non-English speakers. #InclusiveSupport Watch the full video here: buff.ly/3NhD7Gb

Thank you to the FLAAG Families (Families failed by Lothian Audiology Action Group) who have bravely fought negligence and incompetence at the top. Their efforts to expose the scandal at the paediatric audiology unit of NHS Lothian is admirable and an example to us all.

Such a special assembly for our deaf pupils. Proud to have Mr Tumaini Ngajilo who has travelled all the way from Pomerini School in Tanzania to spend the week at St Roch’s. Our pupils were so inspired.

Hey everyone. Thanks so much for all your support to date. We have collected data from over 120 deaf kids & we are still looking for more. We’re aiming for 300! Please contact us if you’re interested!

Hi I am Kate Rowley, I work here DCAL, as a researcher & currently I'm looking at BSL and reading comprehension in deaf children & young people from 4-18. We've recruited over 120 so far. We need more 16-18 yo. We've set up dates for drop ins at DCAL on Fridays (London).
