Children, Young People & Families with British Sign Language (BA Hons)

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of children, young people and families? The BA (Hons) Children, Young People & Families with British Sign Language (BSL) programme will provide you with a strong knowledge of the barriers and problems that can affect people on a day-to-day basis; thus, giving an excellent foundation upon which you can make a real impact in terms of reducing inequality and social exclusion in the world today. 

The degree is both challenging and stimulating, particularly as it is fully responsive to complex concerns such as mental illness, abuse, human rights, crime, injustice, loss and voice. It is imperative that you are fully prepared for the range of issues that can arise when working in such an important field. As a part of this, it is through encouraging you to reflect on your own and others values, beliefs and perceptions that will allow you to have a much better understanding of the wider societal issues that affect children, young people and families. In turn, this will contribute to your personal transformation not only as a learner, but as a future forward-thinking and autonomous professional.
