How to use a sign Language Interpreter; Where will you find one?

Описание: Ever wondered what a sign language interpreter actually does? In this video, I’m giving you a heart-to-heart insight into my career as a professional interpreter. From where you might find us, to the different domains of interpreting work I choose (and sometimes avoid), I’ll share what it’s really like to be that “third person” in the room. For international sign language week on its way next week i thought id throw down some babble before i fly.

👩‍💼 I’ll talk about:
• Who’s responsible for booking interpreter access
• The qualifications interpreters need and how organisations like NRCPD fit in
• Top tips for working with an interpreter (yes, there’s a right way!)
• Why the dynamic between Deaf clients, hearing clients, and interpreters can sometimes feel tricky – and how to make it smoother

This is just my personal lived experience – not a rule book! Think of me as your new best friend who happens to be a sign language interpreter. Ask me anything in the comments, and I’ll do my best to answer. 💬

👉 In this episode I’m using SSE (Sign Supported English) instead of BSL – I like to offer a mix of communication styles across my content.
