#WorkerCoop #BSLInterpreting #DeafAccess #HigherEd #Signalise #TechForGood
We collaborate directly with our 129 worker members to create an exceptional service for the Deaf community across every setting.
We don't just fill bookings. We listen, we collaborate, and we uphold standards to solve problems together.
We donβt treat workers like suppliers. We are the suppliers!
That is the difference between Signalise and traditional agencies. We are a co-op built by the very people doing the work, which means we operate on trust and transparency, not just transactions.
β
Community Impact: We reinvest in the people we serve.
Don't just spend your budget. Invest it.
#SocialValue #CoopDifference #PublicSector #Procurement #DeafAccess #FalseEconomy
The Co-op Solution: We are different. As a co-op, we exist for our ownersβthe deaf community and the professionals who serve them. β Social Returns: Public money stays in the local community, not offshore accounts. β Real Quality: We get it right the first time, saving time and public funds.
Missed diagnoses, cancelled procedures, and confusion lead to repeat appointments that drain public budgets.
The Agency Problem: Traditional agencies are often driven by profit for VC investors, not service for patients. They squeeze professionals to widen margins, driving quality down.
We all know the saying: "Buy cheap, pay twice." In community interpreting, this isn't just a sayingβitβs a systemic failure.
When contracts favor the lowest fees over quality, we end up with a false economy.
Happy Easter from all of us at Signalise! π°
While our services remain open as usual - our social media is taking a break. We'll be back on Tuesday 7th April.
We hope you have a fantastic long weekend!
Let's remove the barrier.

#CoCreation #DeafCommunity #Interpreting #Signalise #CommunityOwnership
We are bringing our community back together under a new vision: Language Professionals + Deaf People = Co-creators.
We recognize that we cannot work without each other. By co-owning the service, we foster understanding, solve service gaps, and rebuild the connection that was lost.
We cannot work without each other.
Current systems drive the Deaf community and interpreters apart, placing agencies in the middle. This causes gaps in service and deep misunderstandings.
Signalise is the bridge. π
By closing the gaps in service and solving issues face-to-face, we ensure higher attendance at appointments and better outcomes for the NHS.
Connection is not just "nice to have", it is the only way to create real social impact.
π Join the movement: buff.ly/arqgd3G
Our community business connections allows us to create better access. Whether it is signposting a user to the right service or providing our Complaints Resource Pack in simple language, we focus on empowerment to improve quality of life.
The result?
At Signalise, our work goes far beyond booking professionals. We are committed to tackling health inequalities by using outreach workers right in the heart of the community.
We don't guess what Deaf users need; we hold user-led member strategy meetings to ask them directly.
Weβve built a system that finally works for the people who actually use it. Experience a smarter way to book interpreting services.

π€ Did you know that doctors and hospitals have a legal duty to book you a #BSL interpreter?
This means it is not your responsibility to book an interpreter, itβs theirs.
