Editing British Sign Language (section)

==Let Sign Shine !==
Let Sign Shine is a campaign started by Norfolk teenager Jade Chapman to raise the awareness of BSL and attract signatures for a petition for BSL to be taught in schools. The campaign's petition to the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] attracted support from over four thousand people.

Chapman was nominated for the Bernard Matthews Youth Award 2014 for her work and devotion to raising awareness of the importance of sign language. Chapman won the education award category and was presented with an award by Olympic swimmer [[Rebecca Adlington]].<ref>East Anglian Daily Press, [http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/photo_gallery_incredible_young_people_from_norfolk_and_suffolk_are_honoured_with_special_awards_1_3824453] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308170905/http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/photo_gallery_incredible_young_people_from_norfolk_and_suffolk_are_honoured_with_special_awards_1_3824453|date=8 March 2016}}, Photo Gallery: Incredible young people from Norfolk and Suffolk are honoured with special awards.</ref>
