British Sign Language was acknowledged as a language in its own right on 18 March 2003. This upcoming CPD programme will celebrate and continue to highlight not just the language but the culture; with a series of 3-hour, participatory sessions exploring basic language skills to aid your confidence in communicating plus industry specific content and recreate real-life situations to gain knowledge when applying BSL skills to your job role.
