Community interpreting - survey

Post Reply New Topic

I'm looking for people who had experiences with this kind of interpreting, either as interpreters or as those who needed help in this field at some stage of their lives themselves. I'd like you to send a private message to me if you want to take part in a survey of mine the link to which I'd send you then

This is community interpreting:

"Community interpreting is a specific type of interpreting service which is found more in community-based than organisational situations. It is a particularly vital service in communities with large numbers of ethnic minorities, enabling those minorities to access services where, due to the language barrier, they would otherwise find it difficult. Situations where such interpreters are necessary are typical include medical, educational, housing, social security and legal areas."

Anyone?
