British Sign Language (BSL) Plan for Argyll and Bute 2024 - 2030
Following the Scottish Government’s publication of its National British Sign Language Plan in November 2023, Argyll and Bute Council is producing its own, local British Sign Language plan.
This plan differs from the previous plan for Argyll and Bute in that the previous plan was produced jointly with NHS Highland and Live Argyll. While we will continue to coordinate our activities, the council’s 2024 - 2030 plan has been produced as a single-agency plan. In keeping with this approach, NHS Highland is reporting separately on progress made with its actions from the previous plan; they are not reported here.
Because this plan focuses on the council, the number of actions is reduced compared to the previous plan. We have also worked to keep this realistic within the resources available.
