Interpreting
problems
MoJ's use of interpretation & translation
service is questioned
The Justice Select
Committee has launched a call for written evidence on the provision of
interpretation and translation services since Applied Language Solutions (ALS)
began operating as the Ministry of Justice’s sole contractor for language
services in February 2012.
ALS has encountered
numerous hitches since accepting the contract. The committee aims to explore
the reasons for changing the arrangements for interpreter services, the nature
of the procurement process, the experiences of courts and prisons, the
effectiveness of the complaints process, steps taken to resolve
under-performance, and the arrangements for monitoring the management of the
contract. Submissions are due by 3 September.
