Education
Clear understanding provides an environment where all young people can develop to their fullest potential.
Engaging in all the critical moments of a child’s development creates opportunities to ensure no one is left behind. INTRAN provides teachers, parents and carers the communication tools to understand pupils and make a difference to their future.
INTRAN is the largest Public and Third Sector Interpretation and Translation Partnership operating throughout the East of England.
Benefits
INTRAN can help you properly engage pupils, parents or carers to support educational needs, improve learning experiences and protect safeguarding standards.
Better Learning Outcomes
Through mutual support and better understanding, children can build self-esteem, confidence and feel safe and happy at school. Use of interpreters to engage with parents will help you have the information you need, and enable parents to engage with their children’s education and development.
Safeguarding
Access to professional interpreters ensure accuracy and impartiality, helping you to create a climate of trust with families and protect children at risk. When communicating with a child for the purposes of safeguarding and promoting that child’s welfare, and the first language is not English, an interpreter must be used.
Access to Knowledge
Every child matters, and should have the opportunity to be empowered and the freedom to express their own opinions within the learning environment. Effective communication enables your pupils and students to be resilient and resourceful to fulfil their educational potential, whilst ensuring no child is left behind.
Overcoming Communication Barriers
There should never be barriers preventing you and parents from communicating with each other when you need to. By ensuring access to interpreting services on appointment or on demand, you’ll be able to share or seek information and discuss needs as soon as they arise without delays, minimising risks and promoting better outcomes.

Our staff have been calling children in their classes weekly since lockdown began – they have been able to chat to children in the language they feel most comfortable in and make contact with parents too. It has transformed our capacity to communicate with all our school community, with particular impact on our most vulnerable EAL parents, including our Syrian refugee families.

We have had nothing but an excellent service from INTRAN. They have always provided us with an interpreter when requested, and they have always been punctual, flexible and highly professional, even when discussing some very delicate matters. I would highly recommend them.
Teacher, Sewell Park AcademyBroad Horizons Education Trust
Using interpreting services is an invaluable part of our work with the Afghan and Syrian refugee resettlement programmes. To facilitate children’s educational placements, we need to translate important admissions documents and policies to parents, find out any essential health/SEN issues and allow parents to ask questions or express concerns. Access to INTRAN is quick and easy, and schools are always so grateful that they will be able to ensure effective communication with parents and carers.
T.I (EAL/BAME Team Manager – Inclusion and Opportunity)Norfolk County CouncilI have used INTRAN via phone and in person and have found both services to be professional and efficient. During safeguarding meetings, INTRAN interpreters have remained calm and enabled the process to continue without interrupting the flow of discussion. Until I worked with INTRAN, I hadn’t used an interpreting service. I was very pleasantly put at ease and could concentrate more fully on the job at hand.
