Advisory Groups

Advisory groups have been set up to maintain and raise standards in the administration of the Register, to identify and address concerns relating to it, and to facilitate its aims. Each group is chaired by a member of the NRPSI Ltd Board.

The Legal Services Advisory Group was set up as one of a number of concrete steps in the criminal justice sector (CJS) to ensure that only properly qualified and experienced interpreters are commissioned. It comprises representatives of the major agencies in the CJS and has provided valuable information and expert feedback on issues concerning interpreting in all stages of criminal justice work.

Other advisory groups have also met periodically over the years, namely a Public Services Advisory Group for health and local government sectors, and an Interpreters Advisory Group to identify issues of particular concern to interpreters.

If you are interested in participating in an advisory group or have comments you wish to have raised at a future meeting please do not hesitate to contact us.
