Sign Language Interactions are proud to announce we are now a registered agency with the Scottish Association of Sign language Interpreters. (SASLI) – SASLI has produced a Chartermark for registered agencies.  This Chartermark is an indication that the agencies have met SASLI’s quality assurance standard and work together to promote quality standards across the field of communication support services in Scotland.

We have a close working relationship with SASLI to promote the national mandate prescribed by the Scottish Government in relation to linguistic access and equality of opportunity for deaf and hearing people across the board.

Whats expected from SLI? (As stated on their website http://www.sasli.org.uk/ )
