Complaint references: CR96

The Complainant raised concerns regarding the Trainee Sign Language Interpreter's conduct.

It was alleged that, while practising as a Regulated Trainee Sign Language Interpreter, the registrant conducted themselves in a way that excluded a Deaf BSL user from information relevant to them, did not demonstrate appropriate professional regard or respect towards the service user, and acted in a manner capable of undermining public confidence in the profession.

Investigation conducted into potential breach of Standards 1.1, 1.2, 6.1, 6.5 of NRCPD's Code of Conduct.

Case Examiners concluded based on the evidence provided, that the allegations were proved. However, the incident was isolated and that the risk of repetition is low. Therefore, the Trainee was given specific advice by the Case Examiners.
