A one-day event hosted by the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies (CTIS) at the University of Manchester for new and experienced interpreters, supporting professional development in settings where survivors of abuse and violence require interpreting services. The programme includes talks and interactive sessions designed to inform participants about the range of services available to support survivors and approaches to interviews, risk assessment and therapeutic counselling. The event aims to enable participants to identify issues and resources for effective pre-assignment preparation, develop strategies for managing expectations and emotions during and after assignments and better understand service provider goals and duties of care.
The event is free to attend but places are limited. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/interpreting-for-survivors-of-abuse-and-violence-tickets-25376277128?utm_term=eventurl_text
