Description

Provide interpretation and translation for all ORR programs, to assist in communication with UC, UC sponsors, children admitted into the URM program, refugees, and other populations, as needed. �Interpretation and translation services include: 1. Onsite in-person interpretation; 2. Remote telephonic and/or video interpretation, when onsite interpretation is not available or appropriate; 3. Sign language interpretation (inc. two-way communication); 4. Document translation.; and 5. Cultural support and navigation. Generally, in-person interpretation should be preferred, especially in cases of long-stayers or eligible populations requiring prolonged services and supports.� Also, in-person interpretation isn�t a one-to-one ratio rather an in-person interpreter can be matched to three to five recipients of ORR services depending on the age and level of need.� Deployment of in-person interpretation requires COR approval, and the COR determines the ratio between interpreter and recipients of ORR services. Remote interpretation should be a stopgap measure, to be used while in-person interpreters are identified and deployed or in cases in which recipients of ORR services are not anticipated to require prolonged services or supports.� � To facilitate service delivery, the vendor will use qualified, certified interpreters and translators. The vendor will establish, maintain, and grow a network of qualified interpreters and translators to serve ORR�s needs.
