@Se_Railway What about those at Sittingbourne needing to get to London?? My son has been there nearly 2 hrs and says no buses for onward travel

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@WestMidRailway Very unclear signage, and even when we did follow what limited signage was there, the driver stopped at a different stop.

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@WestMidRailway what bus stop is needed for the rail replacement bus from Coventry Arena to Nuneaton?? Thanks

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@WestMidRailway Thanks. That is where we were waiting but the driver didn’t stop there. The driver stopped at the other stop down the road.

Great to see new faces joining the #aiic SLN (Sign Language Network). Updates received from various parts of the globe, particularly in South America where we have experienced excellent engagement with SLIs.

@deafdragongirl @dan_alun @NRCPD @RBSLItoday Totally agree about statutory regulation. But even with that there should be a place for trainees and, I believe, newly qualified interpreters within it.

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@dan_alun @deafdragongirl @NRCPD @RBSLItoday Looking at the RBSLI website, Trainees with RBSLI are called TSLI, not RBSLI.

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@dan_alun @deafdragongirl @NRCPD @RBSLItoday I don’t understand the confusion. RBSLI and RSLI are different.With RBSLI they are still registered, even if it is a different register to NRCPD, so why shouldn’t they refer to themselves as registered? NRCPD don’t have the exclusive rights to that term.

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@deafdragongirl @dan_alun @NRCPD @RBSLItoday I also see ASLI members describe themselves as ASLI registered. As a profession, we need to ensure we are describing ourselves correctly, otherwise it adds to the confusion for consumers and gives the cowboys a free ticket to take advantage of that confusion.

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@deafdragongirl @dan_alun @NRCPD @RBSLItoday RSLI=Registered and TSLI=Regulated Trainee. However I see trainees describe themselves as registered trainee. If the interpreters can’t get it right, what hope do consumers have in understanding??

For the first-ever #NationalBSLDay on 28 April, we are looking for the UK's first #DeafPoetLaureate - the official poet of the #BSL signing community! 👋👋

We invite all #Deaf BSL signers to send a new poem (max 2 mins) on the theme of #WhyILoveBSL by 28 April to [email protected].

@AppleSupport My Apple ID is suddenly inactive - what do I do? Thanks

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]

@Leanne04173070 @dan_alun Doesn’t that mean they’ve waited to book the best fit interpreter for the booking, rather than book the fastest to respond?

[Karen Green @KGinterpreter]
