My brother is my inspiration, he has severe disabilities and uses sign to support his speech and communication. Nobody should be socially isolated due to communication barriers!","additional_details":"100s of 1000s of children here in the UK use sign language or signing systema to aid communication. I strongly believe that if all primary schools promote a sign of the day/week children will learn the basic word signs. This doesn’t have to cost, i would be willing to volunteer to supply videos. it won’t take time as will only take less than a minute each time in assembly/registration. I know schools can choose to teach sign but it should be compulsory. How can inclusion ever be down to choice!","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2019-10-03T13:25:48.348Z","updated_at":"2020-02-26T22:54:53.349Z","rejected_at":"2019-10-08T09:28:30.202Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2019-10-03T15:22:42.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/266495"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
