Hi Sally
This is a difficult one that we haven't really found an answer to other than we let the signer know what is and isn't allowed and the consequences of them helping the student. We are also having similar issues with a Polish interpreter as non of our invigilators speak Polish either.

Hi everyone
We have an issue at the College in providing invigilators for students
with a CSW Communication Support Worker who signs to the student during
the exam in BSL. Most of our invigilators are not trained in BSL so
therefore they are not sure what the signer is saying to the student
during the exam. How do other colleges/schools deal with this to ensure
that rules and regulations are adhered to?
Thanks
Sally
