WHAT LSH WANTS YOU TO KNOW: A deaf woman has won a claim against the UK government after a judge found a lack of sign language at two Covid briefings “served to disempower, to frustrate and to marginalize,” BBC News reports.
Katie Rowley started court action after the sessions went ahead without interpreters on screen.
The government denied breaching its legal obligation to make broadcasts accessible to deaf people, but in his ruling, a judge said the lack of provision constituted discrimination.
Ms. Rowley had argued that being unable to access the official information had caused her stress and affected her wellbeing.
