Interpreting Service

One of the key barriers to accessing services in Bedford is language. QPCO supports clients in need by facilitating access to community-based interpreters via the Intervention Officers Service.  

We provide interpreting services for organisations and charities supporting social groups and workshops. In line with our charitable status, where a service has a legal duty to provide interpreters, we support individuals only up to the point where that duty is triggered. We advise clients and partners to use accredited interpreters for any legal or formal proceedings.
