Welcome to Basildon District Council
Help with Interpreting and Translating

Sign Language Interpreting

We have basic British Sign Language (BSL) communicators who can help with:-
  • Housing applications
  • Council Tax enquiries
The service provides confidential interpretation between sign language and spoken English.

We aim to be as flexible and responsive as possible and will act as an aid to communication between deaf and hearing people.

Translating

If English is not your first language and you need help in talking/explaining or understanding a letter, documents bills etc. we can help by providing the information in your own language.

If English is not your first language we can use a telephone interpretation service to help with meetings and conversations between yourself and Council officers.

Blind & Partially Sighted

If you are blind or partially sighted we can provide information in large print, braille translation or on audio tape.

These services are available at Basildon District Council's town centre and area offices.
