Ali Hetherington RSLI/MASLI/PGCert Supervision/MA
I qualified as a BSL Interpreter in 1999 and work as a freelance interpreter based in Manchester. I have experience of working in a variety of domains, although I primarily work in the community and in forensic mental health settings.
I am committed to the development of supervision within the sign language interpreting profession and qualified as a supervisor 2009. Following this I published papers based on my MA research into work related stress within the interpreting profession and the benefits of supervision to support the work of interpreters.
I cofounded 360supervison with Cathy Davey in 2014 to redress the lack of Professional Supervisors within the interpreting profession and we developed a bespoke Diploma in Supervision specifically tailored to the needs, experience, and environments within which sign language interpreters work.
I offer supervision to Sign and Spoken Language Interpreters and allied professionals such as lip speakers, teaching assistants, Support Workers and CSWs.
