FW: Funding for interpretation in schools
Tanya Ingram
Hi everyone
I would be so grateful if any of our Country council colleagues could let me know how schools fund interpretation services in your area. Is some funding made available by the county council or are schools/MATS encouraged to buy in to services.
How do you ensure schools in your region use interpretation with families/pupils with EAL and do not rely on family members or language speaking school staff?
Thanks so much!!
Kind regards

Hi Christine
Nice to hear from you. How are you?
So Brighton offer a traded service package too? I take it your school buys in to that. I think we have been moving away for a traded offer but it would help in getting schools signed up for interpretation.
Thanks a lot
Kind regards
