TLS interpreters received specialist child protection training
As our regular customers will know, TLS always aims to supply specialist linguists for bookings where the subject matter is more sensitive or complex.
In partnership with Hackney Children’s Services Safeguarding and Reviewing Team, we are now facilitating specialist child protection training for interpreters working in this important area. The training, delivered by Hackney’s team, helps interpreters build a clear understanding of the policies and procedures surrounding Initial Child Protection Conferences, Review Child Protection Conferences, and Core Group meetings.
At the end of the training, participants:
- Understand the reason for Child Protection Conferences
- Better understand the processes involved, including referrals/timescales/invites/report deadlines
- To understand the importance of sensitive language and full interpreting during meetings
- Know what happens at an ICPC/RCPC
- Are provided with tips for presenting information (eg subtext-specific language/acronyms that professionals use).
