Details

This review of standards and qualifications, undertaken between March and September 2022, provides technical evidence for the independent review commissioned by Lord Wolfson on spoken language qualification and experience requirements to support the effective delivery of Language Services across the MoJ.

The intended outcomes of the commissioned review are:

• an independently defined qualifications framework based on the technical interpreting requirements of MoJ assignments.

• a supporting ‘implementation strategy’ which captures the technical framework and suggests the means of practical application including: associated training needs/standards, operational and cost impacts and implementation recommendations (if required).
