Family court interpreting
FGM Protection Orders, forced marriage protection and care proceedings — trauma-informed, precise, discreet.
Family proceedings demand a particular register: precision with sensitive subject matter, neutrality between parties, and the composure to interpret distressing evidence accurately. Recent practice includes FGM Protection Order hearings, care proceedings and fact-finding hearings.
Settings covered
- FGM Protection Order applications and hearings (fixed fee — see rates)
- Forced Marriage Protection Orders
- Care and supervision proceedings; case management and IRH
- Fact-finding hearings and expert assessments
- Solicitor conferences and statement taking
Safeguarding posture
Enhanced DBS held; trauma-informed practice; scrupulous confidentiality under the NRPSI Code of Professional Conduct. Cultural context is rendered where it affects meaning — and flagged to the court where a literal rendering could mislead.
