What information should I provide?

“I'm looking for an interpreter, what information should I provide?”

Providing clear & relevant information is very important as it will help interpreters decide whether they can accept your booking.

The kind of information we need is listed below.

What the booking is for.. (e.g. a doctor’s appointment / training course / interview / disciplinary hearing etc.)
Date(s) & times & venue of the booking
Directions - public transport/driving to the venue and whether there is parking there.
Outline of course content (if applicable) and whether preparatory notes / an agenda will be available
Some bookings will require a co-worker - if so, it is helpful to know who that will be

You can contact the interpreters on this website via our Interpreters Profiles or book an interpreter using our Interpreter Booking Form
