I am Daniel Jillings. I am 12-years-old and am deaf.

I use British Sign Language as my first language and, in a few years, I will be doing my GCSEs.

However, for me and other deaf children who use BSL, there is currently no GCSE in our own language.

In this video for Metro.co.uk I explain how I am campaigning to change this so deaf children are not left behind, and hearing children can learn BSL in school making the world a more accessible and communicative place for children like me.


You can support my campaign and help me fund the legal challenge here, on Crowdjustice.com.



Update: Daniel has now hit his crowdfunding target of £4,000.
