Can I Book A BSL Interpreter Online?

Yes. We provide BSL interpreters by video, either on demand or pre-booked, as well as face to face. Both options are booked through one platform, so you can choose the right option for each appointment.

How Far In Advance Do I Need To Book A BSL Interpreter?

At least one weeks notice where possible, given a national shortage of qualified Level 6 NRCPD interpreters. For shorter notice, remote video interpreting may be suggested instead.

What's The Difference Between BSL, SSE, And Deaf Relay Interpreting?

BSL is a full, independent language with its own grammar. SSE (Sign Supported English) follows English word order using signs, often used with people who are D/deaf but prefer an English structure. Deaf Relay interpreting uses a Deaf interpreter alongside a hearing interpreter, usually for Deaf people whose first language isn't standard BSL, such as those using regional dialects, foreign sign languages, or with additional communication needs.

Can I Request The Same BSL Interpreter For Repeat Appointments?

Where possible, yes, though BSL interpreter availability can be more limited than for spoken languages, so continuity may depend on the interpreter's schedule and location.

Do You Provide BSL Translation Services?

Yes. We turn written information, such as documents, policies and web content, into British Sign Language video, signed by registered BSL translators.

What Is The Difference Between BSL Interpretation And BSL Translation?

BSL interpretation is live. An interpreter signs and voices a conversation as it happens, either face to face or by video. BSL translation turns written information into a pre-recorded BSL video. People sometimes search for a BSL translator when they need an interpreter, so tell us what you need and we will advise on the right service.
