Rejected petition Make BSL free to all parents of Deaf children
Too many BSL users find themselves in isolation. Also a lack of understanding around them in order to support and develop their needs. Signing and spoken language can go hand in hand. It will not hold them back!

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to fund free BSL lessons for every parent or carer of a Deaf child, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
