You'll notice - if you read the doc - that the *lowest* cap is £27k pa. The others are £40k and £54k. Which is more than enough to employ a BSL interpreter full time.

They went on to say this -

quote:

---

We recommend that DWP consult the BSL interpreting profession, through the Association of Sign Language Interpreters and the National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters, to establish suitable maximum permissible hourly, half-daily and daily rates for BSL interpretation funded by Access to Work.

...

The Government should also consult formally on improving the efficiency of the market for BSL interpreting services across the public sector. This consultation should consider steps which could be taken to increase the number of BSL interpreters in the UK.

...

A cross-government interpreters’ contract could offer consistent standards of accreditation and provide Access to Work users with a choice between the Government's provision and the open market. It will also enable us to achieve better value for money on the support that we offer our customers

---

Now quite obviously to anyone who has read it, the over-riding theme throughout the document is to lower to on-cost of interpretation. Quite obviously to anyone who reads it, they're going to achieve this in two ways - to increase the supply of interpreters and employ them all on longer contracts.

What the fuck Peter Purton is reading I'm not clear.

Sign language interpreters are affected - their livings at risk? WTF. They won't be quoting £90ph for much longer, but they may be in a more secure contract?

Please read the thing and tell me your interpretation of it but these lefty cunts don't half want to find problems.

the government has indicated that it would expect the salary for interpreters to be £30-35 thousand. But they earn £250-275 a day now and she doubts that they will be prepared to work for less money.

But people like Russ appearing to whinge that there's no way out isn't the way either. There's always a way for people who are willing to work hard and persevere for a goal. Sadly though, i think many people want everything now now now.

the world doesnt revolve around me though, i believe in helping people who need help.

i dont agree with benefit scrounging, and i think the 26k (soon to be 23k) benefit limit is excessive.

minimum wage is around 13k a year, that's not enough to live on without help.

" as well as increasing the threshold at which the 40% tax threshold is introduced from £42,385 to £50,000"

So the first £10.6-12.5k no tax, then upto £50k @ 20%, to 100k @ 40%, 100k+ 50%
