BSL Link for Communication is a Deaf led business established by Stewart Bailey, a profoundly Deaf, British Sign Language (BSL) user. From personal and professional experience, Stewart understands the importance for Deaf and hearing people, to have qualified Sign Language interpreters to ensure all interactions provide communication access between BSL and English.

All interpreters used by BSL Link for Communication are registered with the National Register of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD). As such they are committed to the NRCPD’s Code of Conduct and Guidelines of Professional Practice.

BSL Link for Communication aims to provide a high quality service to meet the communication needs required in each individual situation to include Health, Education, Legal, Social Services, Community, Theatre, Conference, Training and Office domains.

In addition to Sign Language Interpreters, we also provide Deafblind interpreters, Relay interpreters, Notetakers, Speech to Text reporters, Electronic Notetakers and Lipspeakers to ensure everybody, whether Deafened, Hard of Hearing or Profoundly Deaf, has equal access to communication.
