Before the session:- Schedule more time for clients that will use an interpreter. Consider that everything is going to be said twice.
- Tell the interpreter what the meeting is going to be about. If it’s a complicated procedure, notify the interpreter ahead of time, so he or she can study some of the vocabulary that it’s going to be used.
- Ask the interpreter if there are any particular cultural issues you should know about.
- Avoid using family members, especially children, as interpreters. This can lead to problems with breach of confidentiality and inappropriate paraphrasing.
