We share the long-term goal for all Scottish public services set out in the BSL National Plan, which is:
BSL users will have full access to the cultural life of Scotland, and equal opportunities to enjoy and contribute to culture and the arts, and are encouraged to share BSL and deaf culture with the people of Scotland.
We will:
- Collaborate with partners, organisations and relevant stakeholders to promote inclusive participation of BSL users in Culture and the Arts as both participants and audience members.
- Provide support and guidance to BSL users interested in pursuing careers in Culture and the Arts by facilitating connections with relevant resources and opportunities.
- Use online platforms to promote BSL information and events linked to historical environments, performing arts, film, cultural events, venues, and opportunities.
- Acknowledge and celebrate various diversity calendar events associated with the Deaf and Deafblind community to raise awareness and promote inclusivity.
