The British Deaf Association invites you to participate in two crucial consultation processes related to the GCSE in British Sign Language (BSL). These consultations, initiated by the Department for Education and Ofqual, seek your valuable feedback on the proposed subject content and assessment arrangements for this important qualification.
The Department for Education's consultation is centred around the proposed subject content requirements for the GCSE in BSL. The goal is to define a regulatory document detailing the minimum knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary for this qualification. Learn more and provide your feedback on this consultation.
At the same time, Ofqual is gathering opinions on the proposed assessment arrangements for the GCSE in BSL. Your thoughts and suggestions will contribute to this important aspect of the qualification. Provide your feedback on the Ofqual consultation.
Alongside our fellow stakeholders - Signature, the National Deaf Children’s Society, BATOD, ABSLTA - we have agreed to publicly share our collective feedback on these consultation documents.
Signature has also compiled a glossary to help clarify the terminology used within these consultations. This resource defines each term as referred to within the current Level 2 BSL qualification. Check out the glossary here.
Your insights play an essential role in shaping the future of British Sign Language education. We strongly encourage you to lend your experiences and ideas to these consultations. Together, we can contribute to a stronger, more inclusive educational landscape for British Sign Language.
Let's shape the future of BSL education together. Have your say today.
