BSL Interpreter
What is a BSL Interpreter?
A BSL (British Sign Language) interpreter is a professional who facilitates communication between deaf and hearing individuals. They interpret spoken English into BSL and vice versa, ensuring that both parties can understand and participate in the conversation.
The Role of BSL Interpreters
BSL interpreters bridge the language gap between deaf and hearing individuals, ensuring accurate and effective communication. They adapt to various settings, such as meetings, conferences, medical appointments, and legal proceedings. Adhering to ethical guidelines, interpreters strive to maintain confidentiality, impartiality, and professionalism.
Working with a BSL Interpreter
Working with a BSL interpreter
When working with a BSL Interpreter, it is important to:
-
Communicate Clearly: Provide the interpreter with any relevant context or background information.
-
Interact Respectfully: Treat the interpreter as a professional and avoid interrupting them during their interpretation.
-
Provide Feedback: If you have any concerns or difficulties, feel free to pass this onto the interpreter once they have finished interpreting, or let us know.
-
Be Patient: Allow the interpreter time to process and convey the message accurately.
Make sure that your interpreter is registered with NRCPD.
