Coventry Interpretation and Translation Unit (CITU)

Coventry Interpretation and Translation Unit (CITU) is part of SEND (Special Education Needs and Disability). It supports professionals across all  Council departments by providing a confidential and impartial service to people whose first language is not English or who have a sensory impairment.

CITU provides interpretation and translation services in almost every language spoken in Coventry. All our interpreters follow the Council’s policies and procedures and are committed to their own Code of Practice, which includes maintaining the confidentiality of the service user. CITU interpreters have the necessary skills and experience to interpret at case conferences, LAC reviews, child in need meetings, investigations, home visits, meetings, trainings, etc. Interpreters can be booked for face-to-face, MT, and telephone interpreting.

They also provide written translations of a variety of documents which includes case conference recommendation letters, reports, appointment letters, care plans, Assessments, etc. into various community languages and vice-versa.

They also facilitate telephone and sign language interpreting which is available through external agencies.
