It is the policy of my department to include closed captioning on videos. All videos posted on the Department's social media accounts from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 are captioned. None include ISL interpretation.

The information in respect of the state bodies within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the following table should the Deputy wish to contact them directly with his query.
