Translation and interpreting services

We aim to provide services which are open to all.

Automatically translated versions of our website are available in a number of languages.

Please note: these translations are automatically machine generated and therefore may not convey the same message as originally intended in English.

For those people needing to access our services and whose first language is not English, a range of facilities is provided.

Please note all interpreters are bound by a code of confidentiality and work to a code of conduct agreed by the County Council.

Translation Services

Documents produced by the Council can be translated into any language on request.

Interpreter Services

We provide face to face interpreting services to work with clients whose first language is not English.

British Sign Language (BSL)

Where a BSL Interpreter is required in order to allow a deaf person to access the services of the Council, this can be arranged.

Braille

Documents can be printed in Braille on request.

If you have a visual impairment

Material can be transcribed into clearer/larger print, standard Braille, audiocassette, computer disc or CD-rom.
