Changing representation in sign language interpreting and translation, we provide a space where interpreters and translators of colour can connect, be supported, and truly belong.
A question we at the Interpreters of Colour Network are often asked is: “Why do we need an organisation like IOCN?” It’s a question we take seriously – and a good place to start is with the numbers.
According to the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), an estimated 151,000 people in the UK use British Sign Language, though not necessarily as their main language. Of these, around 87,000 are Deaf.
These figures highlight not only the scale of the Deaf and signing community, but also the urgent need for accessible, culturally informed interpreting services – something IOCN is dedicated to supporting.
