“The INTRAN telephone interpreting service has provided much more flexibility. The option of arranging a three-way telephone conversation has been very helpful.”
J.W (Information and Advice Manager)Age UK Norwich
The INTRAN service has helped me to engage with a large amount of people during a very difficult time. Every time I have used the service the interpreter has been very patient, as most of my calls have lasted over an hour, and some of the information that I need to obtain can be quite personal and sensitive. The system works really well – there is never a long wait for an interpreter.
B. (Rough Sleeper Co-ordinator)Breckland Council
Telephone interpreting is definitely working for me. Without a doubt. I wouldn’t be able to do my job without it. It is as simple as that. How could I get them to sign a consent form which enables me to do things like call the doctor on their behalf or go to the council with them? They must know what they are signing. That’s a basic human right, surely?
