COMPLAINTS
We hope that you'll have no reason to complain about the service you receive from any of us that advertise on West Country Interpreters, but if you aren't happy, please do discuss your issues with the interpreter directly in the first instance. It may be a simple misunderstanding of our role or function.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, please go to the NRCPD website and Raise a Concern about the practitioner. The NRCPD will take it from there.
