In this manual, we take a human rights approach, and the frame of reference that we use is the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). We also follow the policies set out by the WFD. The aim of CRPD is equal opportunities for all people, having respect for difference, and accepting people with disabilities as part of human diversity. CRPD includes a statement about what “language” is, and says that signed languages are equal in value to spoken languages.
