The Foundation for Public Service Interpreting was founded in 1997 to work with others to raise the standards of interpreting in the Public Service.

Interpreting is a profession and calls for particular skills and training. Interpreters often have to deal with life-threatening and critical situations. It is not a job for those who have learnt a bit of French at School.

By nature of the profession the majority of interpreters are self-employed and many get themselves attached to an interpreting project.The Foundation has a team of experts who can provide:

• Advice on setting up and managing an interpreting project.

• Advice on current qualifications available. 

• Advice on training staff to use interpreters.

• Advice on the most used languages in a local setting.

• Advice on the best use of telephone interpreting.

• Advice on Emergency Planning provision.
