Access All: Disability News and Mental Health - The battle for BSL

Download The battle for BSL

More than 250 deaf people are taking the UK government to court over the lack of British Sign Language (BSL) in televised Covid briefings at the start of the pandemic. Nikki is joined by campaigner Lynn Stewart-Taylor and deaf journalist Liam O'Dell to discuss why this case is so important.

We are joined by actor Leo Long, the star of the new Netflix film, I Used To Be Famous.

And the story of the blind Instagrammer who used her AI description software to discover that the pictures she had been sent by an interested male were not very flattering about the assets he is presumably rather proud of.

Producers: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey
Recording / mixing: Dave O'Neill
Editors: Damon Rose and Jonathan Aspinwall
