Demonstrations of a new service to help deaf British Sign Language (BSL) users access council services are being held on 25 November.
As part of our new British Sign Language Plan we are working to make it easier for deaf BSL users to contact us. We're working with a new national service, contactScotland-BSL, which can allow deaf BSL users to get in touch with us and other services.
contactSCOTLAND-BSL is a Scottish Government service that connects deaf BSL users throughout Scotland through an online BSL interpreting video relay service (VRS) with all of Scotland’s public authorities, voluntary organisations and beyond.
We are hosting demonstrations about this service on Monday 25th of November at the following times:
- 9.30-10.30am at the Esk Rooms, Brunton Hall, Musselburgh
- 12 to 1pm at Garleton Room, Penston House, Macmerry
- 4-5pm at the Regent Room, Brunton Hall, Musselburgh.
This sessions are free and open to local organisations and individuals across East Lothian who would like to learn how to use this service. Just email us to let us know which session you would like to attend.
