why we do

what we do.

We are already supporting over 250 deaf students with specialist notetaking support, and our BSL interpreting team will ensure that we are now able to provide more of a rounded support package which includes a BSL interpreting service in higher education, ensuring that deaf students receive reliable, consistent and high quality interpreting provision. This provision is student-focused and will ensure students are supported in a timely manner due to our access to a strong pool of interpreters with good availability.
