999 British Sign Language (BSL)

Good morning,

If you weren't already aware of the 999 BSL app/internet page please take a minute to read the below and share to those who may find this post useful.

999 BSL is the UK’s first emergency video relay service designed specifically for British Sign Language (BSL) users. It’s a free online platform that enables deaf individuals to contact emergency services through a BSL interpreter, using either a smartphone app or a web browser.

This ensures that BSL users have equal access to emergency services.
