Advice services for Deaf people in BSL

The request was successful.

To Whom It May Concern:

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, could you please tell me if your council provides, commissions or funds an information, advice and guidance service specifically for Deaf residents, in British Sign Language (BSL), and that:

(a) If yes, can you supply contact details for who provides this service; and
(b) If not, what arrangements are in place to ensure Deaf people are able to access advice on an equal basis to hearing residents.

Yours faithfully

Neil Andrews
