Hello
Everyone,
Now I hope that I explain this
properly.
I'm looking for any work that has been
done on compiling a "toolbox" that would provide accepted and understood terms
for interpreters to use when explaining an assessment or
procedure.
This has come about from a colleague in
Carer Support who when explaining, for example a carers assessment, has found
differing terms being used by different interpreters that do not always convey
her meaning. She was planning to compile an explanation in each language that
would be a resource for interpreters so that they use the same terms,
these would be agreed terms used across agencies. Patient? Service User?
Client? For example.
When this was being discussed yesterday
I immediately thought of you. Has someone already done this? Is it a
good/awful idea waddya think?
