Visual Language Professionals would like to offer congratulations to the BDA, RAD and Signature on celebrating 10 years since British Sign Language was officially accepted as the first language of Deaf people in the UK. We would also offer our support in persuading the current and any future Government that British Sign Language should be fully recognised by the introduction of legislation to support its status and use in the UK
