Dear Maribel, Please may I ask you to pass our thanks to the interpreter for having the insight and compassion to raise this safeguarding concern. Kind Regards. RuthRuth Mulholland, MFT interpreting service Manager RW3-482714
The 2 interpreters at St Anne's are absolutely fabulous. They work extremely hard and not only doing their job but also helping with understanding and reading and writing so they are actually doing two jobs, interpreting and teacher assistants.Monika P, EMAT SMBC
Hi everyone, I just want to feedback how excellent Nataliia is as an interpreter and overall her professionalism. Please add the colleague as a regular for me as she is very skilful and her overall manner makes customers very comfortable. Thank youArun Parmar, Stockport Homes Group
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share this email from Claire Gregory, the Deputy Head at Marple Hall, with you all. As you know, I am a big fan of Zohreh for all the reasons Claire has included in her email. If we gave out medals, Zohreh would be my first nomination. I love having her in "my" schools because she is so dependable and adaptable and lovely with the students as well as the staff. She has been working with evacuees from Bredbury Hall and asylum seekers from The Britannia at MHS and is wonderful with beginner students when they first arrive. They really flourish under her support. I could say more but I will leave that to Claire. Thanks so much Zohreh. Best wishes, JaneJane Lawton EMAT and Claire Gregory, Marple Hall Deputy Head
Thanks very much for arranging the booking at such short notice. I just wanted to email to say how impressed I was with the service and having the interpreter was invaluable as it really helped us to achieve a great deal in a positive and inclusive way. This included discussing levels of need, sharing support plans and referrals and discussing transition and next year. Thanks once again.Tina Honeychurch, Nursery Teacher/Senco Dial Park Primary School

It makes things a lot easier. Kind regards SuzanneSuzanne Cliffe, NHS Greater Manchester ICB - 02A
