We aim to alleviate through our British Sign Language/ English interpreting services all communication problems between businesses, individuals and others in the private sector, and Deaf* people.

* The use of the word ‘deaf’ (with a lowercase ‘d’) refers to any person with a significant hearing loss, whereas ‘Deaf’ (with a capital ‘D’) refers to a person whose preferred language is British Sign Language (BSL).
Through our broad range of services, including British Sign Language, Prestige Network can help you make your business more accessible to Deaf people as we use interpreters with skills in both British Sign Language and English, enabling Deaf and hearing people to communicate effectively.
The friendly and efficient service provided by our experienced and bilingual staff ensures that you get a British Sign Language (BSL) / English Interpreter who addresses your interpreting needs whether you are an individual or an organisation in the public or private sector.
Our British Sign Language / English Interpreting staff are highly trained in both English and BSL and we work only with qualified and/or registered BSL/English Interpreters.
British Sign Language/ English Interpreters can bridge the language barrier between Deaf and hearing people, allowing them to communicate effectively. Our interpreters’ sign language skills and expertise provide full translation to convey the words, and the meanings and feelings behind the words, which are so often vital when interacting.
In fact, Prestige Network has the largest pool of British Sign Language / English Interpreters in the entire country, interpreting for both the public and private sectors.
British Sign Language is a visual-spatial language that has its own grammatical rules and uses hand movements and shapes as well as facial expression rather than words to convey meaning. As British Sign Language or BSL is the preferred or first language of profoundly Deaf people, using interpreters with skills in both BSL and English will enable you to ensure that communication between Deaf and hearing people is successful.
It was not until March 2003 that the UK government recognised British Sign Language as an official minority language. This has fortunately led to an increased awareness of the language as it now has a similar status to that of other minority national languages such as Gaelic and Welsh.
Here at Prestige Network, we appreciate and understand how hard it is for a Deaf person to get the most out of a business meeting or training events, or value conferences, shows, trade expos etc without the proper interpreting provision. Engaging the services of an experienced British Sign Language/English Interpreter for your event will allow your business to access more widely the Deaf community and vice versa. We in fact provide every type of British Sign Language interpretation - all the services available in our other language groups are available in British Sign Language or BSL.
