Interpreting in Police Settings - The Police Perspective Part 1

Interpreting in Police Settings - The Police Perspective

Course Description

Interpreting in police settings provides multiple challenges for both officers and interpreters alike. It goes without saying that interpreting in this domain requires in depth, specialist training. If you’re considering whether you’re suitable for this domain, this webinar will assist you to begin to identify areas to explore in further depth in your professional development plan. For example:

What types of bookings/interviews might you be needed for?
What would you do if you felt you needed to challenge a police officer on their practice?
How national (UK) and strategic aims of the PLOD initiative and police interpreting may affect you.

Experienced police interpreters will also benefit from a discussion of the technological, national and global developments taking place in this domain.

Completion of this course will give you a minimum of 2 hours' structured CPD points. You will also be provided with a number of resources for you to gain further unstructured CPD points.

This course is available for 90 days from the date you purchased it.
