Rejected on
Start making sign language (bsl) a option to want to learn bsl language in secondary schools across cornwall. It shouldn't just be French, German or spanish. We need to make it more awear.
There are over 50,000 people that use bsl in there day to day life's . It's should be our second language for the United Kingdom.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
BSL is already taught in some schools. It's therefore not clear what you would like to change.
You can find out more about BSL in schools in the Government's response to this petition:
