Watford Deaf Club Club for British Sign Language users. WE ARE OPEN AGAIN! FAQs

Where can I learn British Sign Language? Are learners welcome? Yes!

We have social groups, welcome speakers (in BSL or with interpreters), play games, and organise other events at the Harebreaks Community Hub, Watford. The two main British Sign Language qualification exam boards are Signature.org.uk and ibsl.org.uk
Your best bet is to look on their websites for local providers. We think the closest is Harrow but St Albans might be easier to get to for some people. Our 1st Wednesday evening of the Month is particularly suitable, but more experienced learners are welcome to our twice monthly Tuesday Afternoon Club. Just be aware you will need to sign as much as possible :)

Looking for the perfect TV to watch after an afternoon at Watford Deaf Club (open 12-4pm on Tuesday 6th October)?
There's a Deaf couple as the house-owners on DIY SOS.

"We are all so incredibly proud of the community that came together to help this lovely deaf family.

If you want to see what community looks like, take a look at this.

The fact that the entire street put their lives on hold just to enable the team to do the magic is breathtaking."

The team help a couple rebuild their home after a rogue builder abandoned a project.

Congratulations to our friends in Northern Ireland, we really hope this makes all services more accessible to you.

The Northern Ireland Sign Language Bill has received Royal Assent! This recognises both British and Irish Sign Language in Northern Irish Law.

The Bill represents Northern Ireland's commitment to preserve BSL and ISL. In addition, The Department for Communities has committed to provide free BSL and ISL classes for deaf people under 25 years of age, a transformational step for the deaf community.

The Bill represents real progress towards inclusion of the deaf community in Northern Ireland.
