The Sign Language Interpreting Centre is able to offer a comprehensive package of tailor made communication solutions.
Experience is the key, in that 20 years of providing interpreters, lipspeakers and notetakers allows us to draw on the finest bank of service providers nationwide.
From one-to-one appointments to international conferences all eventualities can be catered for by experienced, qualified professionals
- INTERPRETERS - Interpreters are language professionals skilled at working between British Sign Language and English. Simply put, when two or more people do not share the same language an interpreter will make the link linguistically and culturally. Our experience, and a nationwide network of qualified interpreters, ensures a service of the highest standard.
- LIPSPEAKERS - For Deaf people whose preferred language is not BSL it may be beneficial to use the services of lip-speakers; a non-intrusive way of ensuring equality and enabling participation. A professional lip-speaker is a highly trained person who will relay all that is said by hearing participants.
- NOTE-TAKERS - A professional note-taker is an invaluable member of the support service. In enabling the Deaf person to play an active part in proceedings, the note-taker will take any notes, minutes or asides, whilst the services of the interpreters and lip-speakers are being used
Each event, meeting, seminar, conference have different requirements that may require a bespoke service. In order for SLIC to provide an appropriate and most cost-effective service it is best to contact us well in advance. This will enable us to advise, source and deliver a seamless SLIC service.
