A SAIN interview occurs when all the agencies involved in cases of suspect child abuse and neglect coordinate their efforts and simultaneously investigate the matter. Interpreting in this setting is not an easy task since the subject matter adds a layer of difficulty to the already demanding cognitive interpreting process. This session will be illustrated with real-life cases and will explore in detail the aspects of interpreting involved during these interviews. In doing so it will provide guidance for interpreters working in community, medical and legal settings.
