Goal Two: Children in their Early Years

Families and carers of Deaf or Deafblind children will be given information about BSL and services for Deaf people. They will also be offered training in signing to children.

Scottish Ministers will reach these goals by doing the following:

8. Make sure information is given about BSL and Deaf culture for new parents whose baby is diagnosed as deaf.

9. Promise to give support for families and carers with D/deaf and Deafblind children age 0-5 years old to learn BSL.

10. Make sure that families of D/deaf and Deafblind children have access to BSL support and information.

11. Make sure that all children can have happy play experiences.

12. Give information and access to early years services for parents who use BSL.

13. Look at the best ways of bringing together children who use BSL.
