One-to-One RSLI Support — Weekdays

Service Description

One Registered Sign Language Interpreter, for one Deaf person, for as long as the appointment needs. A hospital appointment, a solicitor's meeting, a parents' evening, a supervision at work, a tribunal, a driving test - wherever one Deaf person needs full access to what is said, and to be understood exactly as they meant it. You tell us the field the appointment sits in - education and learning, workplace and business, health and social care, legal and justice, community and public life, arts, events and sport - and the setting within it. We match the interpreter to that. A child protection conference, a driving test and a board meeting are not the same job, and we don't treat them as one. Every booking is delivered by a qualified and experienced interpreter who is briefed beforehand from whatever you send us, named to you before the day, and there early enough to meet the Deaf person and agree how the two of them will work. Every RSLI is bound by the NRCPD code of conduct, confidentiality included, and carries their own indemnity insurance. This service is delivered by a Registered Sign Language Interpreter - fully vetted to the level of experience the work requires. A diagnosis, a tribunal, a disciplinary, a meeting about a child's support, a police interview, anything signed. Wherever the outcome changes someone's health, money, liberty or livelihood, the interpreting has to be right first time. What the Deaf person receives is the appointment on the same terms as everyone else in the room - able to ask, question, disagree and be understood as they meant it, rather than told afterwards what was decided. What you receive is a decision taken on accurate information. Where the work needs two interpreters - a panel or a platform, an audience, sustained dense content, or a long day - Co-worked RSLI Support is the right service. Anything over three hours is charged as a full day. A full day is six hours of interpreting, spread across up to eight hours on site. Longer days can be booked, and cost more: beyond six hours the rate is £85 an hour, per interpreter. Past six hours accuracy starts to slip and it is the Deaf person who carries that, so on a long day we will talk to you about a second interpreter - Co-worked RSLI Support - which is usually the better answer. A minimum booking applies, so a 45-minute appointment costs the same as a two-hour one. All prices include VAT. Every request is reviewed before confirmation. Once confirmed we send a secure payment link and allocate your interpreter as soon as it clears. Book at least 30 days ahead, and provide your preparation material with the booking.
