Thank you to all the deafblind members who have participated in the DBNAGs and who gave their views on the 10 Aims and Ambitions of the BSL National Plan. We have sent you the BSL version of  the feedback from the last DBNAG in Perth on August 2nd on a DVD. We have also sent you the written version of this in your
preferred formats.

What happens next? The next  BSL NAG meeting is on Tuesday 1st November. The BSL NAG will look at all feedback from deaf and deafblind BSL users in Scotland and prioritise these so that the BSL National Plan can begin to be written. The next step in the process is that the first Draft Guidance for the BSL National Plan will be circulated for consultation.  Deafblind Scotland will consult with DBNAG members and other BSL using members on this when it comes out. The next DBNAG will  be arranged soon after the draft Guidance is available, it is anticipated this may be in December 2016 or January 2017. We look forward to working with DBNAG members on this next stage.
