Sign Language Week 16 – 22nd March 2026

It’s Sign Language Week! A time to celebrate the beauty of British Sign Language and the Deaf community’s culture, identity, and voice. At GoLearn!, we’re proud to champion inclusion and inspire everyone to learn a little BSL – and help make communication accessible for all.

This week in GoLearn! we have been celebrating Sign Language week which is the flagship awareness week for British Sign Language and Irish Sign Language. It takes place every year in March to commemorate the first time BSL was acknowledged as a language in its own right by the UK Government on 18 March 2003.

BSL stands as the fourth most widely used indigenous language in the UK, with an estimated 151,000 individuals utilising the language.

“Every sign learned is an act of allyship. Join us as an ally, learn, share and support us.”
