This document compiles responses from SIAA members regarding ways they access interpretation services when needed by Advocacy Partners or independent advocates.
They answered the following questions:
When working with Advocacy Partners who require an interpreter:
- Who do you contact to provide an interpreter?
- Who pays for the interpreter?
What happens when independent advocate requires an interpreter? Is it possible to arrange it through local NHS interpreter service, or is it a potential conflict of interest and an independent interpreter should be arranged instead?
