Communication Trap - Interpreter Survey by RAS Voice
RAS Voice is a UK advocacy group made up of refugees and people seeking asylum. We are investigating the quality of interpreters during Home Office interviews and would love to hear your experiences. We are particularly interested in the impact of the Covid pandemic on interviewing. All your comments will be anonymous and you can answer whichever questions you feel comfortable answering. We really appreciate your contribution and hope to launch a campaign to improve the quality of interpreting.
