... highlight lack of BSL support in schools.

This doesn't need much explanation.  These are the jobs being advertised today on the British Association of Teachers of the Deaf website.  Only one demands more than Level 2 BSL (roughly equal to a GCSE) and many of the Teacher of the Deaf posts don't even require a qualification as a Teacher of the Deaf.
*Note the references to good oral/written skills and fluency in English!


Teacher of the Deaf (Peripatetic Sensory Support Teacher)

East Riding of Yorkshire Council

Salary: MPS/UPS & £4116/£2016 SEN allowance (pro rata). The higher SEN allowance will be offered with CACDP/Signature Level 2. SEN £4116/£2058 depending on level of BSL qualification

MPS/UPS & £2058 SEN allowance (pro rata) for candidates without CACDP/Signature Level 2

Section 77 - 84 of the Immigration Act 2016 requires that the Council ensures that all customer facing staff are able to speak an appropriate standard of English; therefore any applicants for customer facing posts will be assessed on this basis as part of the interview process.
