Young people are pushing for British Sign Language to be taught in schools

In April, the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) conducted a poll which revealed that almost 60 per cent of the general public lack the confidence to communicate with a deaf person over fears of not knowing how to do so. A further 84 per cent said they did not know how to use British Sign Language (BSL) to speak with a deaf person.
