A Silent Shout Petition: We want British Sign Language to be taught in most schools to GCSE level or equivalent For hundreds of years, British Sign Language has been the primary language of the Deaf community, a visual language that can be learned by all and can transcend communication barriers both locally and globally. Just one person learning to sign goes a long way to overcoming these barriers and creating a much more inclusive society, so imagine the impact if everyone knew how to sign. If you believe like us that it is time most schools include British Sign Language on the school curriculum up to  GCSE  level, then we are hoping with your help to produce a substantial visual petition. 'A Silent Shout' directed, of course at the government, but also aimed at people generally to make them aware of the vast potential right there in front of them.
