Broadcast supplement – 21 August 2019

(avery) #1
I’m Ruth Griffiths and I’m the
Chief Executive of the British
Sign Language Broadcasting
Trust (BSLBT).

This year we are celebrating
ten years of working with Deaf
programme-makers to produce
outstanding original content in British
Sign Language (BSL).

Set up to help broadcasters meet their
obligation to provide programming in
BSL, we have become a mirror of Deaf
culture in the UK as well as reflecting the
richness and vibrancy of sign language.

In this brochure we share milestone moments
from our first decade, take a closer look at
recent programming and get to know Deaf
talent both in front of and behind the
camera.


We’re hugely grateful to the
broadcasters whose funding makes
our work possible, to Ofcom for their
regulatory support and to everyone
involved in making and distributing
our programmes.


If you want to know more about BSLBT
or would like to watch some of our
programmes, please contact me

Hello!
