Another year has flown by and at DCAL we are trying to adapt back to ‘pre-covid’ ways of working. COVID brought challenges, but it also pushed forward some positive changes too. Like everyone, we are now much more used to having online talks from remote presenters. It has been great to have DCAL presentations this year from around the world. This year has also been a fantastic year for BSL and the representation of deaf people in the media. This summer the BSL Act was passed by Parliament. DCAL staff and students were delighted to join so many people on sunny days in the Spring in Trafalgar Square to campaign for this and then to celebrate the approval of the Act. This of course is just one step in ensuring greater access to BSL for deaf people. There is much work to be done and we hope that research we conduct at DCAL can contribute towards this. We have selected a summary of some of the DCAL highlights from this year for you. We hope you enjoy learning more about what we have been

The current pandemic has shaken our personal and professional lives, challenging the ways in which we communicate and work, in many cases with more profound effects for deaf and hard of hearing people. Members of DCAL developed a range of strategies and guidelines to adapt to these new challenges. Here we want to share some of these with you, as well as some other online resources that can be of use during this period of remote working.
