Analysis and Comment
The way we were… Judicial interpreters & “acceptable MINIMUM standards” before ALS
'[...] many of our friends, who belong to other professions, ask me about the difference in terms of qualifications required, between an ‘ALS interpreter’, and a pre-ALS interpreter'
Breach of the Data Protection Act
Yesterday I contacted ALS requesting to be deleted from their database (in case they had included me in their list of interpreters, which they do without people's consent, as we already know very well)
A funny end to an ALS phone call
'Good luck to anyone who wishes to work for them but do not count me in'
Jail for a fake interpreter
'We now have hospital cleaners, ASDA check-out girls, fruit pickers without any interpreting qualifications or experience working in Tribunals, Magistrates' and Crown Courts'
