The importance of using qualified and registered BSL Interpreters

A recent survey conducted by 6 Deaf related organisations found that 41% of respondents left an appointment without fully understand the interpretation, and 57% left a medical consultation confused about how to take medication because no Interpreter was provided at all. The work of ASLI's Professional and Consumers Working Group has managed to collate over 50 examples of this, but there are hundreds more out there.

We feel very strongly about the rights of the deaf person, and are supporting a petition advocating a more widespread use of qualified and registered BSL Interpreters.

Please follow the link below to add your name to the petition, it only takes a minute, but in reality it could save lives by ensuring correct diagnosis' is made and correct medication and treatment is provided and managed.
