At the meeting of the Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth yesterday or last week, we discussed issues with other groups representing migrants and minorities and heard about their experiences. One issue that came up frequently was that of interpreters and translation services. What is AkiDwA's experience of translation and interpreter services? Are there examples of where it worked well? The experience from the other side seemed to be negative but if there is an example of where it worked well, we might understand how to improve it, as well as the general experience, even if it is incredibly poor.
