Guidelines for Working with Interpreters

Children’s Advocacy Centers across the country use language interpreters (or sign language interpreters) when working with children and families who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP) or are deaf/hard of hearing. This guide by the Northeast Regional Children’s Advocacy Center (NRCAC), provides an overview for the use of interpreters in CACs. It covers using interpreters in forensic interviews, training for interpreters, tips for interpreting, confidentiality forms, and resources.
