Deaf Relay Interpreting

What Is

Deaf Relay?

Deaf relay interpreters are deaf professionals who work alongside British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters to assist members of the deaf community who are not fluent in BSL.

An individual may not be fluent in BSL due to any number of different reasons. This may be because of a learning difficulties or mental health issues, or because they make be more familiar with a sign language from another country.

    When To Use

    Deaf Relay Interpreters

    It is not always suitable to use standard BSL alone. Other members of the deaf community, often termed grassroots deaf, use unstandardised, complex and rare signs, which may not be well suited for assisting in every situation. Those who are grassroots deaf may also be experiencing difficulties understanding basic concepts and general knowledge. Our deaf relay interpreters will adapt BSL so that the client has a full understanding of the information being given and will interpret the client’s response back into BSL.
