Who I work with
Families who speak Kurdish, Farsi or Dari deserve to understand every decision that affects them. I interpret for council teams, schools and social care across London, and translate the letters and information they rely on.
Appointments about housing applications, homelessness, council tax and benefits, in person or by phone.
Home visits, assessments, meetings and conferences, interpreted with care and strict impartiality.
Admissions, parents’ evenings, special educational needs (SEND) meetings and reviews.
Focus groups, consultations and community events, so residents can take part in their own language.
Letters, forms and decisions translated, so families know exactly what they are being asked to do.
Leaflets, web pages and campaigns that read naturally in Kurdish, Farsi and Dari.
Sorani Kurdish, spoken in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and in western Iran, Farsi and Dari. I do not interpret Kurmanji (including Badini) or Pashto; if a family speaks one of these, I will tell you, so that you can book the right interpreter.
