About Us

Our goal is to contribute to a more equal society, with improved access for Deaf people, by offering high quality BSL training for individuals and organisations.  

SignUp BSL is a social purpose business. Our vision is of a society where Deafness is not a barrier to independence, achievement or fulfilment. We are dedicated to advancing that vision by increasing the awareness and use of BSL in the community, and by being a positive employer of Deaf people.

What Is BSL?

BSL stands for British Sign Language. It is the first language of thousands of Deaf people around the country and has been an official language of the UK since 2003. BSL is a visual language with it's own grammatical structures and is distinct from English. BSL makes use of facial expressions and lip patterns as well as hand shapes and movements.

Did you know?
Most countries have their own sign language, even where countries share an oral (spoken) language. For example, Britain, Ireland, America and Australia have different sign languages, despite all being English-speaking countries.
