Thanks, Georgia Cotton
Just wanted to send a few positive thoughts about Z's work at St Anne's last week (2 May).
She was assisting three candidates with their Persian Speaking GCSE exams.
I'd like to highlight that Z had to learn how to conduct Speaking Exam in half an hour and she did a marvellous job!
Please could you acknowledge the input and going beyond the usual interpreting nature of the job.
Thank you kindly, Monika Polaszek
I just wanted to say a big thank you to D who interpreted today. She was brilliant and very thorough, and the panel really appreciated her support today.
I apologise again that the invite came in so last minute.
Many thanks, Charlie

I have been asked to pass on to you, the message of great appreciation of M’s work at court last week, as set out below in the message from the team leader: I just wanted to share our massive appreciation of M who has translated for the last 3 days. She has done incredibly well and has been crucial to the MGM understanding. I feel it needs to be shared how hard it is to interpret court proceedings and M has done incredibly. Please can this be passed along. Thank you very much for all of your assistance.
Kind regards
Kate Lincoln
