Deafness is not just the inability to hear. Deaf and Hard of Hearing people communicate using British Sign Language commonly known as BSL. It is not called Deaf Sign Language. Deaf and dumb is an inappropriate term. The British Deaf Association BDA or the Royal National Institute for the Deaf RNID can supply generic information on deafness. The Council for the Advancement of Communication with Deaf People CACDP can provide information on interpreter assessments. Sign Solutions is an NVQ NVQ4 Assessment and Training Agency offering NVQ in BSL, Interpreting and BSL Linguistics. Sign Solutions also works with Access to Work Interpreters.
