Video resources

Four videos (BSL, Dutch, Hindi and Kurdish) simulating various phases of interview stage of interpreted Mental Health Act assessments (MHAAs) are available to view/download. Note that several versions are available of each video: 

1) with spoken English only 

2) with subtitles of spoken English only

3) with subtitles of spoken English and back-translation into English of the other spoken/signed language (which appear in a different colour in the subtitles)  

4) English subtitles including subtitles of the translations from other spoken languages plus BSL interpretation throughout. 

The videos last around 8 minutes each and are to be used alongside the ‘Best Practices for AMHPs and Interpreters working together’ guidance
