A Fresh Face

 British Sign Language interpreters are trained to a very high level, which takes them years to attain.

We are delighted that Catherine Hall has, recently, become part of our team, acting as an interpreter in health and business appointments.

It is essential that health and well-being providers understand that not everyone who has learnt some BSL can be an interpreter. In fact, every interpreter will have trained up to Level 6 in BSL, then will have gone on to do an extra training in interpreting. It is a rare skill that takes a lot of commitment and understanding of the Deaf community and their culture.

Signing is a wonderful, expressive language and many people would love to see it adopted as an essential skill, taught in schools from an early age!

We offer BSL Level 1 and 2 courses, as well as some starter sessions and also appreciate the opportunity to share Deaf Awareness at your chosen venue.
