Public Service Translation and Public Service Interpreting

Public service interpreting is a demanding role requiring high levels of concentration, accurate transfer of information, absolute client confidentiality and the ability to deal effectively with sensitive issues. Public service interpreters can be involved in a range of different situations assisting local council officers, social workers, legal representatives, educational welfare officers and mental health practitioners.

Public service translation requires high standards of written language transfer, coupled with an understanding of the social care systems in the UK and the ability to provide translated documents quickly to meet deadlines for meetings, assessments and court appearances.
