In this week’s Talking Life, Kieran is joined by the Senior Policy Officer for Health and Disability at the West Midlands Combined Authority, Dr Mark Fosbrook. They discuss a new sign language interpreter app, Convo, and how it’s improving access to qualified BSL interpreters across the nation. Dr Fosbrook explains the importance of breaking down communication barriers, where the biggest gaps lie, and the positive difference proxy access can make to a BSL users’ life.
