Background
DSigned began with BSL access in the construction industry — and evolved into wider support.
Where it started
DSigned was originally set up to provide BSL support to Deaf people in the construction industry.
What changed
Over time, it became clear that many barriers weren’t only about communication — they were about systems that are unclear, inconsistent, and not designed with Deaf people in mind.
DSigned now focuses on helping people navigate those systems: understanding options, responsibilities, and next steps.
