APCI

A professional association representing public service interpreters working in the Criminal Justice System. Retweeting does not imply endorsement or agreement.

An Ipswich court was forced to use a translation app to communicate with a defendant who speaks limited English after an interpreter failed to attend his sentencing hearing. https://t.co/FfnYajYq9E

Plans to shut 77 courthouses have been quietly shelved by the MoJ https://t.co/8OvFN6zFcM

Counsel at a trial involving an interpreter has just recounted a case whereby a juror, who spoke fluent Spanish, intervened to say the court-appointed one was not interpreting correctly and the jury had to be discharged. These are the kind of anecdotes I love as a court reporter.

No point getting angry about this. Just feel pity. Anyone who reacts this way to the death of a child has lost more than they will ever understand

@SGInterpreting Aircon much better for you and the computer! X

If you missed this eye-opener on Channel 4 at 7pm tonight, you can catch up here. Serious Crime. But no justice. It’s short (9 mins), powerful, terrifying and true. If only the general public knew. #fundjustice

Honoured to have been invited to present my research into interpreter mediated police interviews to members of .@APCI1. Of course none of this would be possible with out the support from .@EmWilliamsCCCU, .@JenNormCCCU and not forgetting .@davewalshphd #researchintopractice

@SarahForshaw1 There is no civil society without the Rule of Law. Tyranny or anarchy are not dystopian fantasies but a dreadful reckoning if Governments continue to deride us.

[Sarah Forshaw KC @SarahForshaw1]

The justice system isn’t a party political issue. It’s more fundamental than that.
Successive govts have allowed our criminal justice system to rot for decades. It’s not a vote-winner with the public so it’s crippled by under-funding.
When it goes wrong? Chaos. We warned you.

[Sarah Glendenning @SGInterpreting]

I need this for my work space.

The BBC accidentally said the facts of something rather than pretend that there were two sides to it. They're very sorry and won't do it again.

[Nick Rosenthal @nickrosenthal]

So if we're all "confined to barracks", are weekends still weekends?

@MirelaWatson @UKChange Hi Mirela! Nice to see you back on twitter!

My professor just told me that if we get a whiff of smoke it’s because another professor put the papers he was grading in the microwave to rid them of any chance of Corona Virus & then the papers caught on fire... I can’t make this stuff up people

[Sarah Glendenning @SGInterpreting]

This is a great opportunity. I wish this had been around when I was a student.
