About us
 
What is British Sign Language (BSL)?
British Sign Language is the first language of any Deaf people.
British Sign Language is a true language, and not only gestures.
British Sign Language users can sign the equivalent of everything that can be said in spoken language.

As with any other language, an interpreter can be used to allow you to communicate with a British Sign Language user.

Sign Language Interpreters should be Registered or Associate Trainee Members of the Scottish Association of Sign Language Interpreters or recognised by Glasgow City Council.

All Glasgow City Council Sign Language Interpreters are bound by a Code of Practice to protect the rights of those involved in the interpreting assignment.
