Easy Booking System for BSL Users
The deafPLUS Adviceline enables D/deaf people to sign “face to face” with a trained Adviser, who is also a native BSL user, using a video platform you are already familiar with ( Skype, FaceTime, Zoom). We also provide information on advice subjects such as Universal Credit in plain English text and BSL video on our infoHUB.(We have provided a BSL video guide to using the Booking System.
