We share the long-term goal for all Scottish public services set out in the BSL National Plan, which is:
BSL users will have fair and equal access to the civil, criminal and juvenile justice systems in Scotland.
We will:
- Continue to support and promote Forth Valley Sensory Centre as a Hate Crime Reporting Centre.
- Continue to support Forth Valley Sensory Centre to ensure staff can use BSL, have trained with Police Scotland, and can provide support as needed.
- Continue to provide communication support and facilitate BSL interpretation for those accessing Prison healthcare services.
- Continue to provide communication support and facilitate BSL interpretation for those interacting with Falkirk Justice Services.
