3 What is the BSL National Advisory Group? The BSL (Scotland) Act 2015 means that Scottish Ministers must publish a BSL National Plan saying how they will promote and support BSL. The BSL National Advisory Group (NAG) will advise Scottish Government on what should be in the National Plan. The BSL National Advisory Group will listen to the views of people whose first or preferred language is BSL, Deaf people who use BSL, Deafblind people who use BSL, and hearing parents of Deaf children. The BSL National Advisory Group will recommend what should be included in the national plan. BSL representatives will be appointed to the group for two (2) years and will oversee the development of the first BSL National Plan which will be published in October The role of the group and its membership will be reviewed after that. The National Advisory Group will meet seven (7) times between April 2016 and August What is the National BSL Plan? The national plan is likely to include things which all national public bodies will need to do. Some national public bodies will have responsibility for main concerns included in the national plan. For example, if the National Plan included something about the teaching of BSL in schools, there may be actions for Education Scotland. 2

4 Membership of the Group The BSL National Advisory Group will be made up of Deaf people representing others whose first or preferred language is BSL, Deafblind people (including those who use tactile BSL) and a hearing parent who will represent other parents of Deaf children as well as key public bodies. The group will be co-chaired by a person who is Deaf/Deafblind and whose first or preferred language is BSL and person from the Scottish Government. All meetings will be fully accessible to all members of the Group, and will be conducted in BSL and in English. All papers will be available in both BSL and English. The membership of the BSL National Advisory Group will be: One (1) Scottish Government co-chair (to be appointed) One (1) member from the Scottish Government Equality Unit. Eight (8) places reserved for national public bodies covered by the BSL National Plan. Which national public bodies will be involved has not yet been decided. Eleven (11) places for representatives whose first or preferred language is BSL (one will be the co-chair), with exception to the one person who will be the hearing parent of a Deaf child (the child s first or preferred language will be BSL), the group should include - Five (5) Deaf people whose first or preferred language is BSL from diverse backgrounds. 3

5 Two (2) families of Deaf children - one who will be a hearing parent of a Deaf child who uses BSL as their first or preferred language; the other will be a Deaf parent with a Deaf child who uses BSL as their first or preferred language. Two (2) Deafblind BSL users - one of whom will use tactile BSL [NB: Deafblind BSL users will be recruited separately please contact Deafblind Scotland dsp@deafblindscotland.org.uk for more information].

[NB: These young people will be recruited separately. For more information, please contact Deaf Action at dsp@deafaction.org or by SMS on or the National Deaf Children s Society Scotland (NDCS Scotland) at anne-marie@ndcs.org.uk or by SMS on ]. The Application Process BSL representatives applying to the group will go through a formal assessment process to make sure they have the skills needed to be an active and representative member of the BSL National Advisory Group. Although this is not a Public Appointment (because the BSL National Advisory Group is not a public body), the process will be supported by the Scottish Government s Public Appointments Team, and a member of the team will be part of the assessment process to ensure that it is fair, open and transparent. The application process will be conducted in both BSL and in English. 4

6 Where to go to for help with your application The Deaf Sector Partnership is a group of deaf organisations including SCoD, BDA Scotland, Deaf Action, Deafblind Scotland, National Deaf Children s Society Scotland and Deaf Connections who are working together with the Scottish Government Equality Unit and the Voluntary Action Fund to implement the BSL (Scotland) Act The Deaf Sector Partnership can provide support to anyone wishing to apply to be a member of the BSL National Advisory Group. In particular, the Deaf Sector Partnership organisations will encourage and support Deaf BSL users, including those from minority groups, to apply to become members of the BSL National Advisory Group. This may involve helping people to apply or they will provide training and/or support successful applicants to fully take part. There is a separate process for recruiting young people to the BSL National Advisory Group. This will be done through the Youth NAG. Deaf Action and National Deaf Children s Society Scotland which will gather a number of interested young people together and they will nominate two young people to represent their views on the BSL National Advisory Group. For more information about the Youth NAG and how to become involved, please contact Deaf Action dsp@deafaction.org SMS: Or National Deaf Children s Society Scotland (NDCS Scotland) anne-marie@ndcs.org.uk SMS:

7 There is also a separate process for recruiting people who are Deafblind and use BSL as their first or preferred language to the BSL National Advisory Group. Deafblind Scotland will host the Deafblind NAG and the Deafblind people who attend this group will nominate the two Deafblind people whose first or preferred language is BSL, one of whom will use tactile BSL, to the BSL National Advisory Group. For more information about this group or the process, please contact Deafblind Scotland for more information. Deafblind Scotland dsp@deafblindscotland.org.uk Should a Deafblind BSL user apply through the general application process that person will be considered for one of the Deaf BSL user places, not one of the Deafblind places. 6

8 Application Guidance Notes Guidance Notes for Applicants for the five (5) Deaf BSL places and the two (2) parent places Please read these notes carefully before you complete your application form. Your Application Your application is very important; it will help us decide who will be interviewed. In your application you need to show us what skills you have and how they match the essential and desirable criteria in the application. You will be asked to give your name, address, date of birth and whether or not you are a Deaf BSL user whose first or preferred language is BSL (hearing family members of a Deaf child will be excused from answering this question) at the start of your application, as well as whether or not you are allowed to work in the UK and whether or not you work for a deaf organisation in the Deaf Sector Partnership. If you are applying as a hearing parent of a Deaf child whose first or preferred language, you will need to state this after you give your name and address. The other questions also apply to you. This is the information that will be used to decide if your application moves to the next stage of the process. You can send us your application in BSL on film or in English using the application form. All applicants need to answer the questions in the same order. 7

9 If you want to send in your application in BSL and would like to submit an English version with it, the Scottish Government will pay for a Scottish Association of Sign Language Interpreters (SASLI) or a National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD) registered BSL/English Interpreter to translate your BSL application into English. You will have to provide receipts for this service. For more information about this, please contact SCoD at admin@deafsectorpartnership.net. If you do not want to do this, please send in your BSL film and the Scottish Government will translate your BSL application into English. Why? Because the application process is being carried out in both BSL and English. Completing Your Application When you are completing your application, please give examples of how you have used your skills. For example, I have excellent BSL skills and can communicate with people of all ages is not enough. You need to give an example of what you were doing with young people or older adults or with children. I set up and ran a computer class for women at my local community centre. The course lasted for 12 weeks. I had to book the room and arrange the set-up of the computers. I then had to organise the translation of the computer instructions and the manual into BSL. I had to update my knowledge by going to the local college and negotiating with the computer department to have several lessons on how to operate a PC. I ran this course three times over the course of a year once for older Deaf women, the second time for older Deaf men, and the third time for anyone of any age who is a Deaf BSL user. I arranged all the publicity and took the bookings. I also handled all the bookings and arrangements in the community centre. 8
