Surrey Interpreting Agency

The Surrey Interpreting Agency (SIA) is part of the Deaf Services Team and is generally for service providers to book a sign language interpreter. The SIA can also provide note takers, lip speakers, communication support workers and other facilities to aid communication for deaf people. The services provided are mainly booked by service providers for people who live and work in Surrey but can be requested by external companies, charities, schools and voluntary organisations both within and outside Surrey.
