Sign language in offices: requests and petitions made easier

Deaf and hard-of-hearing people will be able to submit requests for public information and petitions as video recordings in sign language. This removes the need to ask hearing people for help in writing such documents. The change aims to ensure equal rights in dealing with public authorities.
Key points
People using Polish Sign Language (PJM) or sign-language system (SJM) can submit a request for public information as a video recording.
The same applies to submitting petitions – they can be recorded in sign language instead of being written.
The office that receives such a petition will publish its transcript (a written version of the recording) on its website.
The new rules will take effect 60 days after they are announced.
