Interpreters' experiences in courts and tribunals: the Interpreter Feedback Form

Podcast Place T&i Legal System

The Recommended National Standards for Working with Interpreters in Courts and Tribunals (the RNS) provides for interpreters to have a mechanism to give feedback after a court/tribunal assignment (see Optimal Standard No. 4). AUSIT has undertaken to provide this mechanism, via an Interpreter Feedback Form.

AUSIT invites interpreters working in court and/or tribunals around Australia – whether they are AUSIT members or not – to provide feedback. The data collected will help ascertain the extent of implementation of the RNS. 

You can fill out an Interpreter Feedback Form below. Thank you in advance!

. . .

 What happens to the feedback submitted?

AUSIT’s Interpreter Feedback on RNS Implementation Committee (I-FRIC) examines all the Interpreter Feedback Forms submitted and publishes regular reports on their contents. 

You can read AUSIT’s reports on the feedback it has received to date below. Further reports will be uploaded as they are completed.

Filling in the form

Please fill out a separate form for each assignment in which – in your opinion – there was something worth reporting with regards to the RNS.

Your information is anonymous, and will be kept confidential. 

There is a feedback box at the end of the form. All feedback is welcome, whether positive or negative. 

If you wish to be contacted by AUSIT’s Interpreter Feedback on RNS Implementation Committee (I-FRIC), you are welcome to leave your contact details in the feedback box, but this is optional.

Thank you in advance!

Submission form

for court interpreters to report incidents or issues that occur in court interpreting assignments.

Purpose and function of this information submission form.

This form enables you to report issues or problems that you encounter in the course of court interpreting assignments.
