BSL EMERGENCY CONTACT SIGNS

Paperback (Co-Sign Communications (inc DeafBooks) Feb. 27, 2017)

Carry this with you at all times if you want a quick and useful illustrated sign language reference for use in an emergency.

The signs cover those considered to be the most useful for urgent situations as experienced by representatives of the Police, Fire and Ambulance Services in collaboration with the Deaf community, for Emergency Services up and down the UK.

British Sign Language (BSL) is the language of Britain’s Deaf community and also forms the basis of sign systems used with children and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN) who have additional speech and language needs.

Basic sign communication can be invaluable for on the spot assistance – not only for Emergency Service providers but also members of the public who may be first on the scene and able to summon help and give assistance.

Also available on Kindle with one flashcard sign to a page, this printed booklet format has the same words/signs laid out 4 to a page.

Sign language users may also want to carry this booklet with them – and also to register with the EmergencySMS service detailed inside.

The 78 key-word/signs provide a valuable reference on the spot and a useful revision aid for signing classes.
