Assessing

 

As busy Sign Language interpreters who establish a regular client group, become enriched with prior knowledge and indulge in somewhat flexibly boundaried relationships, it can sometimes be of benefit to take an interpreter health check, an MOT if you like, just to confirm that all is still ticking over nicely.


Often working on our own for weeks at a time, it can be reassuring to have objective feedback from an experienced practitioner on the many aspects of our work and role.


A simple checklist is used that covers the following areas of practice:


  1. -Presence & Personality

  2. -Impartiality

  3. -Expertise (beyond the NOS)

  4. -Interventions and Decisions

  5. -Cultural sensitivity


As well as a general assessment of skills and technique.


After observing a full-day assignment, a debrief follows where each area is interrogated and discussed.  David then follows up with a written record of what was discussed.


Full Day and Evening.
