The British Sign Language (Scotland) Act 2015 requires certain bodies, including the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO), to produce a British Sign Language (BSL) Plan every six years. 

The SPSO has now launched a public consultation for the draft British Sign Language Plan 2025-2031  to gather feedback from stakeholders on our Plan. We are keen to hear from BSL users, charities and anyone else who may want to access our service and uses BSL.

Please fill out the survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/CADWgV3N5z. The deadline for feedback is 12:00 15/07/2025.

If you have any queries, please contact ISE-communications@spso.gov.scot.
