Herefordshire Language Network
We have created the Herefordshire Language Network to provide an interpreting service using local linguists. This provides high quality, low cost face-to-face and telephone interpreting, as well as text translation to public, private and voluntary organisations. All members of the network are fully trained and stick to a code of conduct that ensures confidentiality.
