Safeguarding and Child Protection for Interpreters

What you'll learn

Interpreting in child protection can be challenging and rewarding. There are procedures which must be adhered to and specific jargon interpreters will need to be familiar with.

What is a LAC review? A Child Protection Conference? What is the role of the Independent Reviewing Officer? What constitutes a ‘Child In Need‘ and what happens once a child is identified as such?

What should you do if you have concerns about a child – who do you raise them with and how?

During this webinar you’ll learn about signs of potential abuse in children. Ella will also discuss the processes, language and potential dilemmas for interpreters working in child protection. Ethical dilemmas will be discussed, as well as questions which were raised during the live webinar
