Framework Fantasies: Unachievable Promises Made to be Broken
ALS promised a "98% fill rate on all the bookings", meaning that they will supply an interpreter in at least 49 out of 50 cases when an interpreter is booked through them
We have stepped back 20 years as appropriate interpreting standards are abandoned
'It is a no brainer that only people trained, qualified and 'licenced' (registered in the UK) should be allowed anywhere near environments like health settings'
MOJ statistics: intentional obfuscation?
'The only persons protected by this obfuscation are Gavin Wheeldon and Crispin Blunt and those who are desperate to fly in the face of the evidence and maintain that the Framework Agreement is a success'
ALS claimed 2500 interpreters, while MoJ claim they have no data on how many interpreters registered with ALS
Was ALS misleading by exaggerating the number of 'experienced and qualified' interpreters that had registered with the company?
