NI to be first part of UK to offer free sign language classes for deaf children
Northern Ireland will become the first part of the UK to provide free sign language classes to all deaf children and their families through the Sign Language Bill (Northern Ireland) 2025. The legislation, being passed on Tuesday, puts a duty on the Department for Communities to provide free classes for deaf people under-25 and their close families, while giving official recognition to British Sign Language and Irish Sign Language as languages of Northern Ireland. The bill is expected to cost around £3m a year and follows years of campaigning by the deaf community.
