Communication Support Workers (CSWs)
(BSL Level 3 to 6) Our CSWs are used to facilitate communication in lectures, workshops, and seminars so that Deaf and Hard of Hearing students have the same access to further education as their hearing peers. They are interviewed and suitably matched to clients and are mentored and supervised by our in-house RSLIs.

Sight translation is suitable for letters or information for individual or personal use.
Publication translations are used for documents or information in the public domain. They are produced in a professional video format for use on websites, information boards and various other platforms.
