Led by an experienced interpreter who has worked with numerous Community Sponsorship groups, this session will provide you with valuable tips and essential insights on how to effectively use interpreters to communicate with the family you welcome through Community Sponsorship.
We often think that working with interpreters is something we all naturally understand, but effective communication with an interpreter is a skill in itself. This course will explore the nuances of interpreting and cultural differences, with a special focus on key topics that require interpretation, especially during the crucial first week of supporting the family.

Sponsoring a refugee family is a significant responsibility. We advocate for Community Sponsors to ensure that they are properly supported throughout their journey.
Our advocacy focuses on representing the views of Community Sponsors to the Home Office to support them in implementing the necessary operational changes.
We also represent the views of Community Sponsors to other key stakeholders, including Local Authorities, international organisations, the wider resettlement field, housing providers and financial institutions. We also use our voice to campaign on policies affecting refugees. We are members of the Together With Refugees coalition, campaigning for a more humane approach to people seeking protection in the UK.
