Conclusion
The current assessment process cannot capture interpreting in key instances of court interpreting, such as closed courts and whispered interpreting. This means that assessment data may miss interpreter errors in certain court settings. It also means that assessment data used by the MOJ may provide a misleading picture of the performance of court interpreting, potentially leading to poor policy decisions.
