Workshop at Aston University on Thursday 19th December: “Investigative Interviewing through an Interpreter”, targeted specifically at police officers and legal professionals. In the light of the EU Directive which recently came into force in October 2013, there will be new obligations for police officers to provide quality interpreting as well as translation services. This year we will be performing role plays with experienced interpreters to demonstrate and highlight how interviewing through an interpreter is a complex activity which requires specialised training. Speakers for the day will include Dr Krzysztof Kredens, Dr Yvonne Fowler and Dr Nicci MacLeod.
