Imagine working with someone who claims to be a sign language interpreter in a healthcare setting and they inadvertently provide you with the wrong information in British Sign Language? It could be life-threatening for you.
Always check for registration.

Registration means that we have verified that the language service professional meets the required minimum standards to provide you with a high quality language service.
How often do you check for registration?
#NotRegisteredNotSafe
ALT HOW TO CHECK FOR REGISTRATION? When working with a language service professional. Do ask to see their ID Badge. All NRCPD registered language service professionals are issued with an ID badge. You can check to see if they are registered on the NRCPD website. There is a red box on the homepage and you can check the register by searching for their name or badge ID number. If they do not appear on the online register, this means that they are not registered. You should still check for registration yourself, even if an agency has told you that the professional is registered.

Agreed. British Sign Language/English Interpreters should be registered to demonstrate that they can practise safely and effectively.

Well, as a few of us have used thus far - #NoBadgeNotSafe. Could use #NotRegisteredNotSafe too. My issue is how many people in wider society are aware of NRCPD/SASLI/RBSLI & know to check registration? Having a name in a hashtag is a potentially useful tool to raise awareness.
