A Guide to Working with British Sign Language/English Interpreters
A free step-by-step guide to working with British Sign Language/English Interpreters, including how to book them and how to work with them during an event or meeting.
It has been developed by Robin Craig (EDIS Communications and Administration Officer) based on his experiences of working with British Sign Language interpreters for meetings, events, and long-term projects involving Deaf participants. Feedback and sensitivity reader services were provided by British Sign Language/English Translator Alexandra Shaw.
This guide is designed for people who are considering using British Sign Language/English Interpreters as part of their work to make events and meetings more accessible. It is not designed to give guidance on employing someone who communicates primarily through British Sign Language or using British Sign Language in non-work settings. This guide is principally aimed at people who don’t use British Sign Language.
