BSL Interpreting services Qualified BSL interpreters for all occasions British Sign Language is a unique language with its own vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. It is currently spoken widely by more than 70,000 individuals in the UK and has since March 2003 been recognised by the UK government as a language in its own right. In today’s socially inclusive society where there is a clear emphasis on government support for the deaf, hard of hearing, and the families of those afflicted, BSL has come into its own. More than ever it is commonplace to find a BSL interpreter intervene in a wide range of public sector situations, from solicitors meetings and court hearings to social services appointments, housing and immigration meetings, hospital appointments, medical assessments and college interviews. The private sector is now also realising more about the possibilities afforded by sign language interpreting as they are increasingly faced with situations where a BSL interpreter is an invaluable resource for effective and clear communication between an organisation and its client, customer, supplier or business partner. Qualified BSL interpreters for any sector We offer a dedicated team of highly qualified, trained BSL interpreters in most main UK cities who are certified to interpret and support your client’s needs across many public and private sectors. All our BSL interpreters are qualified to at least CACDP (Council for the Communication with Deaf People) level 4 NVQ in BSL Interpreting/English while many have gone on to achieve a postgraduate diploma or MA degree in the subject.
