If you require the services of a Sign Language Interpreter
for any meetings with KCC, we can arrange this for you. If you have
a meeting with Social Services this video clip will give further
information, in signing, on how to arrange an interpreter for this
meeting.
The text underneath the video clip links also explains how to
book a sign language interpreter.
For information about learning sign language, please visit our
sign language courses page.

Interpreting video clip accompanying text
Do you live in Kent? Do you need a British Sign Language
Interpreter to help you access Social Services? Maybe you have a
meeting with a Social Worker or a Care Worker who can't sign; that
means they need to bring an interpreter to the meeting.
Social Services has a contract with a professional organisation
who can provide this service. Good communication is important, that
means we only use qualified interpreters. Any KCC staff can arrange
an interpreter for you, but you need to let them know that you need
this service. They will then contact
Deaf
Services.
Deaf Services works with deaf adults and children throughout
Kent and Medway. All Deaf Services staff are skilled at working
with deaf people; many are deaf themselves. You can contact them
through your local
Deaf Services office. If you don't know where that is then our
Deaf
Services pages can help you find information about where your
local team is based.
We will try our best to arrange a service for you,
although some of these services do take time to arrange, so please
try to give as much notice as
possible. |
