National Agreement on Arrangements for the use of Interpreters, Translators and Language Service Professionals in Investigations and Proceedings within the Criminal Justice System.

It's great news that formal policy has now been adopted so that only the use of Registered CACDP Speech-to-Text reporters as Communication Support in legal settings is permissible. We feel that this is a real breakthrough and just the beginning of the road to formal reguluation in all areas. The full report is available on our Archive page.
