4. BSL Health and Wellbeing 

Principle:  We will embed a cross-university approach to supporting the health and well-being of students and staff who use BSL. 

Actions: 

The University will: 

  1. Establish new Peer Support systems for students who use BSL. 

  1. Ensure wellbeing support services are BSL accessible for students and staff by improving staff awareness training, understanding the responsibility of booking BSL interpreters, sourcing staff with BSL skills and increasing BSL video content to provide information about services. 

  1. Create deaf spaces for students and staff in person and online. 

  1. Establish a Role-Models programme to connect current or past deaf, deafblind, and hard-of-hearing students with new students.
