- This description covers both Parts I and II of this series.
The Royal Commission into Family Violence published six recommendations relating to interpreting services. The final report concluded that interpreting services were inadequate and highlighted the need for training in relation to understanding the nature and dynamics of family violence.
Disclosures and discussions of domestic violence may occur in a range of service settings - not only in expected ones such as police, family court or women’s services. It is important that all interpreters, regardless of their usual field of practice, are appropriately prepared in order to meet the needs of professionals, CALD clients and their own practice when working in these settings.
This webinar will provide an introduction to this specialist field of work as well as a series of useful resources for independent study.

• Why the need of DV education for interpreters?
• What is domestic violence?
• Terminology
