Translating and Interpreting Awareness | Communicating efficiently with clients is key to many of our roles - but do you know what services are available to you if you have a client who has additional communication needs? Staff must ensure that support services are offered to any client who requires them for spoken languages or BSL, both face-to-face and remote. To support you with this, the Equality and Inclusion team are pleased to offer bespoke training sessions to all Adult Social Care teams. If you would like a briefing for your team, get in touch by emailing Michelle Hickman with a request, detailing any issues that you would like specific support around. For more info about the services available, how to use them effectively and how to make a booking, visit the translation and interpreting services Intranet page. The animated guides are a great place to start! |
