🎓 Training: Working with Interpreters

Why it matters

Many professionals are unsure how to get the best from an interpreter.

• Should they address the client directly?

• When should they pause?

• How can they check understanding without disrupting the flow?

• Where tone can make a material difference?

These challenges arise especially in HR meetings, clinical consultations, grievance hearings, and legal proceedings.

Our half-day and full-day sessions are designed for HR teams, solicitors, clinicians and frontline professionals who work with Polish-speaking clients or service users.

Building clarity, confidence and cultural understanding in every interaction.

All sessions are led by experienced DPSI-qualified interpreters, bringing authentic insight from courts, hospitals and government settings. Participants leave with practical tools, cultural awareness and the confidence to work effectively through interpreters in any professional situation.
