On 30th March 2007, UK signed the Covention of Human Rights for People with Disabilities. This convention states that Deaf and hard of hearing people have a right to: 1. Access through the use of professional sign language interpreters(article 9(2e)). 2. The acceptance and facilitation of the freedom of expression and opinion, and access to information, in British Sign Language(article 21b). 3. The recognition and promotion of the use of British Sign Language(Article 21e). 4. In Education, the facilitation of the learning of British Sign Langauge and the promotion of linguistic identity of the deaf community(article 24(3b)). 5. The employment of teachers who are deaf and qualified in British Sign Language to teach deaf and hard of hearing children(Article 24(4)). 6. The recognition and support of the cultural and linguistic identify of deaf people who use sign language and their deaf culture(Article 30(4)). These fundamental principles already ratified by the UK Government, can be implemented by the adoption of a 'BSL Bill' (as an addition to the Sign Language Recognition presented by the DWP on 18th March 2003) and be developed at the soonest opportunity. |
