@shanegilchrist Hi Shane 🙂 I think it makes sense for the NRCPD to categorise language professionals by qualification rather than by deaf/hearing identity, however, I agree there needs to be a way to search specifically for deaf members of the registers. It's frustrating that we can't.

another hearing interpreter trying to describe us as "deaf/relay interpreters" even though we didn't even mention "relay", just "deaf interpreters" 😒 #ableism #deafinterpreters 1/2

@kernowandy @AH_Mcr @NadiaNadarajah It's a 140-odd page report. I asked for a page number. I've seen the data on page 109 and it doesn't support what you said. Thought you were trying to help me out?!

This is the worst ad ever. Never say no to sign language. You are encouraging to deprive the deaf children of their language and access to education.

Congrats to Sarah Sunny. A huge achievement, even when not deaf. I can barely imagine how much hard work this required. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

Sad, confused and upset that the @NDCS_UK have excluded me as a person born profoundly deaf and publish a story about a boy who lost his hearing aged three due to meningitis. My family and I have fund raised for a long time for the NDCS and I feel very disappointed. @SusanNDCS

As a profession, we know that simply booking interpreters isn't enough. Please, let's do better and be the collegiate community we like to think we are.

Not cool. Hope things improve but this shouldn't need to be pointed out.

@TheKatPearson @EmmaMcQuillan17 @tompearson Starling sounds a lot like Mettle (owned by NatWest). I think you can also get FreeAgent for free if you open a Mettle account. I don't think there's a monthly fee either.
