- A few weeks ago, we created a video explaining why one of our content designers chose British Sign Language (BSL) for her 10% time. Now she wants to start sharing this skill with PDS and parliamentary colleagues.
With this in mind, we thought celebrating Sign Language Week was the perfect opportunity to kick this off. Elisabeth shares with everyone why she's proud of learning BSL (this year’s theme) and shows you how to sign some common parliamentary words to get you started.

- Warning: This film contains strong language that may be unsuitable for children and which some viewers might find offensive.
'Election Abstract' is an animation of over a thousand original photographs and videos that were posted on Cornelia Parker’s Instagram feed (@electionartist2017) as a personal diary of the election trail and its aftermath.
It charts the seemingly forgone conclusion of a significant Conservative win, Theresa May’s turbulent campaign and the growing cult of Corbyn. It records travels to various UK cities on the campaign trail, in pursuit of party manifesto launches, debates and public demonstrations. Sometimes Parker acted as part of the press pack, but often worked as a lone observer.
Over the period captured there were multiple terrorist attacks: Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge, Finsbury Park Mosque and immediately after the election, the Grenfell Tower fire disaster. The never-ending news cycle is intercut with...

- Description
- The film 'Left Right & Centre' features newspapers collected during the 2017 General Election campaign period and the eventful months that followed. The newspapers and their headlines chart the polarised opinions of the Left, Right (and Centre).
Filmed in the dark at night and in the light of the following day, the film captures a new perspective of a very familiar space seen from two different points of view; the first a benign dispassionate observer and the second a malign agitator that disrupts and unsettles.

- Mr Speaker, John Bercow MP, and the Lord Speaker, Lord Foster, invite pupils to take part in our new project Pupil Parliament!
Pupil Parliament is a news report and speech writing resource created with literacy charity A Tale Unfolds. The resource includes videos, lesson plans and interactive whiteboard slides.
The Write Brothers lead pupils through the process of reporting, while raising an important issue with an MP or a member of the House of Lords. Then, pupils become MPs or members of the Lords themselves by writing and recording their own ‘speeches to Parliament’. Filming is simple: you only need one tablet (or any device with a camera) to bring this project to life. Show your class how they can make a difference!
Enter your pupils' films into the politics category of primary school film festival LitFilmFest 2018. There, they could see their video projected onto the big screen. Pupils can even win a YouTube filming day for your school!

'Caroline Norton: England's First Feminist Law-Maker' by Diane Atkinson
On the 17th of August 1839 the first piece of feminist legislation became law. The Infant Custody Act changed the legal status of mothers of good reputation forever. For the first time, a wife who was legally separated or divorced from her husband, and who had not been found guilty of adultery, was entitled to custody of her children up to the age of seven and periodic access after that. The Act was the result of Caroline Norton’s struggle with an abusive husband, and the patriarchal values embedded into English law which insisted that a father was the only parent of a child, and mothers had no rights. Caroline Norton’s wretched marriage drew her out of the private sphere and into the sphere of the law; her pamphleteering also informed the 1857 Matrimonial Causes (Divorce) Act, and the Married Women’s Property Act of 1870.
