Highland Joint BSL Local Plan 2024-2030 (English document)
NHS Highland and Highland Council have reviewed our existing BSL plans, reflected on the goals of the BSL National Plan and jointly engaged with the Deaf community to hear feedback about what is important to them.
We are committed to working together in partnership to promote and raise awareness of BSL and improve access for BSL users to our services. For 2024-2030, a joint plan has been developed which sets out the commitments and actions for both organisations.
