Shirley became a Registered Sign Language Interpreter registered with NRCPD in November 2021, having completed the iBSL Diploma in British Sign Language Interpreting. She has been working with the Deaf community for many years and is involved with a local d/Deaf club in Pembrokeshire (www.signandshare.org.uk) raising considerable grant income for the organisation since it started in 2013.
Shirley has also supported both Deaf and hearing clients with claims of discrimination, with a 100% success rate to date. This involves help with completion of the ET1 form (Employment Tribunal claim form) and preparation of evidence for a Tribunal.
Advice and support can also be given to employers who have discipline or grievance issues. Sometimes an independent viewpoint can be very helpful. BEST support can involve undertaking interviews and preparing the paperwork so that any decisions will be fair and meet all legislative requirements.
