Nuer Interpreting Services in Westminster

UK Linguistic Services arranges professional Nuer interpreters in and around Westminster for asylum and immigration appointments, solicitors, GP and hospital visits, schools and housing offices, in person or by telephone and video.

Most people in Britain who need a Nuer interpreter arrived as refugees from South Sudan's wars, often after years in camps across the border, or later through family reunion. Children who went to school in exile usually speak good English. Their mothers, fathers and grandparents may not, and it is the older generation who end up in front of a Home Office caseworker, a consultant or a housing officer with a great deal at stake.

Local Nuer Interpreters Around Westminster

The Nuer community in the UK is small, and far fewer Nuer interpreters work here than Arabic or Somali ones. Some appointments near Westminster can be covered face to face if you give us a few days. For anything sooner, video or telephone lets us reach a qualified Nuer speaker wherever they happen to live, which is often the difference between a booking filled and one left empty.

Nuer to English Interpreter in Westminster

Names are where records go wrong. A Nuer child takes the father's given name after their own, then the grandfather's, so what a British form calls a surname is really a father's first name. Husband and wife will not share it. Girls' names very often begin with Nya-, daughter of, and many boys' names with Gat-, son of. An interpreter who explains this at the first appointment saves a family from being told their documents do not match.

Nuer Interpreter for Immigration Appointments in Westminster

Asylum interviews, family reunion applications and age disputes all turn on dates. In rural South Sudan births were rarely registered, so the date on a later document is often an estimate, and 1 January appears on a striking number of them. A Nuer interpreter should convey how the person actually reckons time, by seasons, by cattle camps or by events such as a flood or a battle, rather than turning a vague answer into a precise one.

Nuer Court and Legal Interpreter in Westminster

Since 2013 the fighting in South Sudan has often divided people along Nuer and Dinka lines. A witness or defendant may not speak freely through an interpreter they believe comes from the other side, however professional that interpreter is. If this is a concern, raise it with us before the hearing, not on the day.

Nuer Telephone and Video Interpreting in Westminster

Much larger Nuer communities live in the United States, Australia and Ethiopia than in Britain. Remote interpreting widens the pool considerably, and for a short call with a GP or a school it works well. For a long statement or a hearing, a video link with a clear picture helps, because a good deal of meaning is carried by tone.

Westminster Magistrates' Court on Marylebone Road is not a purely local court: all extradition cases and terrorism-related cases pass through it, so a booking there can involve a defendant with no connection to the borough at all. About a mile north-east, the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand house the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Central London County Court, where money claims and housing possession cases are heard, so a civil hearing listed "at the Strand" could be in any of several courts under one roof. Westminster City Council runs local services, and the Metropolitan Police covers policing across the borough.

St Thomas' Hospital, run by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, is the nearest general acute hospital, and the Gordon Hospital provides mental health care under Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. To the north, University College Hospital's Grafton Way Building, part of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, lies about 2 miles away, with Great Ormond Street Hospital for children about a mile away. We take bookings 24/7 and can connect you with an interpreter for face to face, telephone or video appointments anywhere in the borough, from a GP surgery to a tribunal hearing.

At the 2021 Census the ONS recorded around 204,200 residents in the City of Westminster, a fall of 6.9% since 2011. The City of London is about 2 miles north-east, Kensington about 2 miles west, Islington about 3 miles north and Brixton about 3 miles south, and bookings for any of them go through the same service.

Nuer Interpreter in Westminster: Questions

Will a Dinka or Arabic interpreter do for a Nuer speaker in Westminster?

Usually not. Dinka is a different language, and although many South Sudanese speak some Juba Arabic, it is rarely strong enough for a medical history or a witness statement. Book Nuer, and tell us which second languages the person has.

Can I ask for a Nuer interpreter in Westminster from a particular background?

You can tell us about any concern over clan, region or political background when you book. We will say honestly what we can offer, and a remote interpreter from further away is sometimes the answer.

Why do Nuer family members have different surnames?

Because each person carries their own father's name, not a shared family name. Siblings with the same father match; parents and children do not.
