WHY USE AN ACCREDITED COMMUNITY INTERPRETER?
|
|||||||||
|
In order to make the most effective use of both your and the interepreter's time, we have collatted a summary of Good Practice Guidelines on How to Work with Interpreters. |

| HOW TO BOOK AN INTERPRETER
Please confirm the appointment time
with the client to avoid missed appointments and cancellations.
Where possible, please ensure the client needing the interpreter
is seen as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary costs. Follow-up appointments • You may make arrangements with the client and interpreter at the end of an appointment for any follow-up appointments. This is a provisional arrangement. You must then complete a booking form and send it to NICEM for each appointment. Talk to the co-ordinator if you do not want
the same interpreter again and another interpreter may be arranged. |

Cancellations: A notice of 36 hours prior to the appointment must be given, otherwise the minimum fee is charged. Travel expenses may be added to this fee if the interpreter is already on their way to the meeting point. Missed appointments: The interpreter will wait up to 30 minutes from the appointed time. NICEM will charge the minimum fee and the interpreter’s travel expenses. |
