Further to his commitment in Plenary on 17 January 2017, how has the First Minister raised the issue of British Sign Language with Qualifications Wales?
Answered by First Minister | Answered on 06/06/2017
I wrote to Philip Blaker, Chief Executive of Qualifications Wales on 01 February asking for advice on the possibility of introducing GCSE qualifications in British Sign Language (BSL) and the potential role of Qualifications Wales in promoting BSL as a means of communication. I have received a joint response from Ann Evans, Chair of Qualifications Wales and Philip Blaker; a copy of the response is attached and can be found on the Qualifications Wales website at:
