On 17 September 2015, the Scottish Parliament passed the British Sign Language (BSL) Bill. The public gallery was packed with Deaf BSL users, many of whom had been banned from signing as children and forced to lip read. It had been a long, hard battle and it was difficult for many to hold back the tears and keep their emotions at bay.

The UK-wide Children Today charity was set up in 1994 to provide disabled children and young people with specialist equipment to help improve their quality of life. There is no statutory right for young people with disabilities to be provided with equipment they need by the government or NHS, a "gap" that the charity attempts to fill. It relies entirely on voluntary donations.
