NRPSI welcomes the MoJ’s acceptance of key Lost in Translation? recommendations, including a new Qualifications Framework and improved Quality Assurance. However, lasting reform requires addressing poor pay, conditions, and off-contract bookings. Without action, the justice system risks losing qualified interpreters. NRPSI urges formal recognition as the independent regulator and remains committed to sustainable, high-quality language services.

We welcome the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) formal response to the Public Services Committee’s report (MoJ ref: Sub 124328) and recognise the constructive steps being taken to improve the provision of language services within the courts.

Developments on the DPS as provided by the police to NRPSI registrants.

The MoJ have outlined the complaints process for anyone wishing to make a complaint about language services in HMCTS.

NRPSI has asked Registrants to continue to encourage their Members of Parliament to ask questions in the House of Commons, eliciting more information about the workings of language service provision in HMCTS.
