 Re:Court interpreters provided by ALS Ltd (Posted on: 2012-10-19 14:18:15)
Justice CommitteeSelect Committee Announcement 19 October 2012Interpreting and Translation services and the Applied Languages Solutions contractThe Justice Committee is currently undertaking an inquiry into interpreting and translation services and the Applied Language Solutions (ALS) contract. There was an excellent response to the call for written evidence but the Committee is now seeking further information on performance under the contract relating to the period September and October 2012. The Committee invites observations from people who have direct experience of the provision of interpreting and translation services by ALS and who may have been reticent to provide formal written evidence. This may include: court and tribunal service staff; members of the judiciary and magistracy; legal practitioners; defendants in criminal cases and parties in civil and family cases; and interpreters providing services on behalf of ALS. There are three areas of inquiry where recent experiences would be welcome: • The quality of interpreting and translation services provided • The effectiveness of the complaints resolution process • The effectiveness of other steps that have been taken to rectify issues with under-performance Comments can be submitted at http://forums.parliament.uk/court-language-services/ and will be available until 2 November 2012. Specific Committee Information: justicecom@parliament.uk/ 020 7219 8196/8198 Media Information: Nick Davies daviesnick@parliament.uk/ 020 7219 3297 Committee Website: www.parliament.uk/justicecttee

Court interpreters provided by ALS Ltd (Posted on: 2012-08-22 18:57:39)
To what extent are legal professionals aware the courts are no longer being served by NRPSI interpreters but by workers from Capita-owned agency ALS Ltd? (since Feb 2012) To what extent are you aware of the Justice Select Committee Inquiry into the contract? http://tinyurl.com/ And, will you make submissions to the Inquiry by 3rd Sept? Does anybody know where to complain to about ALS \"interpreters\"?
