Rejected petition Add British Sign Language to the British education curriculum

We want British Sign Language to be taught in primary schools so more people can communicate with the deaf to prevent them from feeling excluded and be more included in society.

More details

A group of friends and I working with NCS recently went to Walthew House in Stockport; a charity for the blind and deaf. We met a blind man called Paul who was very insightful and told us about the difficulties the blind and deaf community face and the importance of communication.
