The actress and Strictly star, who is deaf, believes tuition should be a right, not a privilege.
Actress Rose Ayling-Ellis is calling for sign language lessons to be made freely available to those who need them - such as the parents and guardians of deaf children. The current funding for sign language tuition has been described as inconsistent and insufficient.
He adds that the funding model is inconsistent - so while some local authorities provide funding, others don't, leading to a "postcode lottery". After her appearance on Strictly, learning to sign became a real trend, Rose says, but this hasn't always been the case. More than 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents, who are less likely to have experience of BSL. The British Deaf Association says that language acquisition in the first five years of life is essential - and inadequate access to any form of language can lead to life-long consequences for a child's cognitive development and wellbeing.
," says Katie. "She's managed to secure some funding. Her son will only be able to use BSL and her family has spent thousands - he's two. Everybody needs communication and why does it have a price tag?" In Northern Ireland, the Department for Communities said it was committed to introducing sign language legislation which includes "provision of free family sign language BSL/ISL classes to deaf children, their parents/guardians, siblings and grandparents". But it added that executive approval was required for the legislation to pass - and the executive is not currently functioning.
