Planning a summer event? ☀️🎪
Here's how to improve it for BSL users:
👐 Offer surfaces for drinks (hard to sign if hands are full!)
💡 Avoid harsh/shadowy lighting (people need to see facial expressions)
🎤 Ensure your digital translator or interpreter, and captions are visible

Accessibility isn't just for screen readers. It's for signers too!
British Sign Language:
✖️ Isn’t English
✅ Is a visual language
✅ Has its own grammar and structure
Captions and transcripts aren’t always enough.
