Use SignVideo to contact us using BSL

You can now contact us using British Sign Language (BSL) through SignVideo, which connects you with a qualified and registered interpreter, who will interpret the conversation through to one of our advisors.

If at any point during the interaction with the interpreter, you feel uncomfortable, you can end the conversation and communicate to us directly via email or your preferred communications choice, to let us know your concerns. We will make sure we will address these and re-organise the session, as needed.

How do I start using SignVideo?

SignVideo is available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm and supported on the following operating systems:

  • iOS devices (8 or upwards), many Android devices (4.4 upwards), PC (i3 or above) or Mac with a webcam
  • IE 9-11 or Firefox (for Windows), Safari for Mac
  • Bandwidth of at least 256 kbp/s upload and download (384 kbp/s recommended)

The first time you use SignVideo you’ll be asked to install technology called a plug-in on your computer. It will help with the video quality and make sure your calls are secure. You only need to do this once.
