That’s a great question Jean. I have used professional translators and always made sujre I have a signed declaration of confidentiality and also whenever possible get forms translated but never had a policy! Now you mention it , it is clearly important.
I have also had problems with family members acting as translators with insufficient command of English so a policy would need to encompass that.
Nick is this something SOM would have?

Hello all,
Does anyone have a policy which covers use of translators, consent and confidentiality please.
Some organisations think they can use HR and this is obviously not correct.
Thank you
Jean
