Best Practice Tip for Using Interpreters
Pre-Session Briefing
Always speak to the interpreter before the session begins to manage expectations and mitigate risks of miscommunication. This is particularly important in sensitive contexts, such as child protection conferences.
Expert Interpreters for Sensitive Situations
INTRAN interpreters are highly trained and experienced at working in safeguarding contexts, handling sensitive topics with care and confidentiality, ensuring that every voice is heard, and every concern is addressed.
By using INTRAN interpreters, you will be able to spot issues of concern and focus on what matters to protect children and young people from harm.
