Community Interpreting involves the accurate oral transmission of meaning from one language to another that is easily understood by the listener( s). Community Interpreter is expected to ensure that the service provider (s) has tall the relevant factual cultural information needed to support the client to make informed choices, and to challenge any discrimination on either side.
