The British Deaf Association (BDA) is proud to endorse The School of Signs, a pioneering new programme developed by Signature to bring British Sign Language (BSL) into primary schools across the UK, free of charge and accessible to all.
Today, the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge has published a new report, BSL is not for Sale: a Deaf-led approach to AI procurement.
The BDA is committed to being a safe and inclusive organisation for everyone, and we encourage anyone in the Deaf community affected by these allegations to contact us directly
The Sign Language Bill is currently progressing through the Northern Ireland Assembly and is at the Committee Stage, where it is being scrutinised by the Committee for Communities.
From 17–18 July 2025, the British Deaf Association (BDA) will host BSL Conference 2025—a landmark gathering celebrating 135 years of Deaf language, culture and community.
