We show an extension result for generalised special functions of bounded deformation (GSBDpGSBD^p, for every p>1p>1) and any dimension n≥2n\geq 2. The proof is based on a recent result of F. Cagnetti, A. Chambolle, and L. Scardia, showing that a function uu in GSBDpGSBD^p with a ``small'' jump set coincides with a W1,pW^{1,p} function, up to a small set whose perimeter and volume are controlled by the size of the jump of uu.
