Our Aim and Network Objectives

BSL Legal was established as an information and support resource for anyone in the legal field needing advice and information when working with Deaf clients or Sign Language interpreters.

We can offer advice and information on how to give Deaf people the best level of support and service and ensure access is made possible at all stages of the legal process. We can also provide advice and information for those looking to find interpreting or translating professionals for their cases.

Our network aims are,

a) Ensure a high quality interpreting service is provided for deaf people who need to access the legal system;

b) Provide a portal whereby deaf and hearing users are able to choose and book our interpreting and/or translation services for legal settings.

c) Provide a place where users can access advice, knowledge and best practice guidance regarding the use of translators and interpreters within the legal system.
