EDEAS often reviews the language demands within Devon and this review reflects the languages that we have inhouse, and the additional languages we can support with. Please review this page regularly to understand the support we can provide.
Understanding the different forms of support
- Interpreting is the act of communicating verbally through someone’s home or preferred language. You will most likely be booking interpreting services for meetings and assessments.
- Translations are the act of translating documents through someone’s home or preferred language using text. You will most likely ask for documents to be translated to support understanding and ensure informed consent.
- Bilingual support is the act of supporting a child or children with language acquisition. Either supporting within the classroom, one-to-one or online.
- Home language GCSE preparation and support – please see our dedicated webpage for further details.
