Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

We are a registering body that monitors, supports and regulates language professionals who work within the BSL community across the whole of Scotland. We are known as The Scottish Register for short. We have a number of different registration categories – including BSL/ English sign language interpreters (qualified and trainee), Deafblind interpreters/ communicators, Lipspeakers, Interpreting Agencies and so on. Although registration of interpreters and associated language professionals is not mandatory by law, SRLPDC feels that it is best practice to engage professionals who can guarantee appropriate levels of qualification, PVG membership, engagement in CPD and holding professional insurance. This serves to protect consumers, providers, and of course the Deaf community across the board.
