Matthew Ford from Signature talks with The Beckies - we learn all about communication and sign language

Matthew Ford – Marketing Manager at Signature 

We talk to Matthew from Signature, a national charity for deaf communication and language qualifications in the UK.

Matthew shares with us insight into learning sign language and what the benefits are. We touch on the exciting development of the British Sign Language (BSL) GCSE and how this is long overdue.  All school can embrace this new GCSE and this could be on everyone’s list of options. 

Early Years plays an integral role in communication with children and families understanding sign language at a young age makes communication accessible for all. Like learning any language, the younger you start the easier it can be. Head over to Signature.org.uk and begin your journey today.
