Buchanan Galleries has teamed up with SignLive, a digital service that provides access to live British Sign Language interpreters.
The service aims to remove barriers, improve customer experience, and enhance access for people who use BSL.
Staff in the centre carry a card with a scannable QR code. Brands taking part in the initiative will have QR codes signposted clearly in windows that guests are able to use to access the service while shopping in the centre.
