This Project was set up in 1996 with the support of Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality, Ipswich Borough Council, Suffolk County Council and funding from the government’s Single Regeneration Budget.

We have trained and experienced interpreters and translators who can provide their services for private, public and voluntary sector clients. All translators and interpreters abide by TIP’s code of conduct. We can ensure that they are impartial and confidential with any information they obtain in any assignment.

TIP Mission Statement

We will do this by:

• Training interpreters and translators to a professional standard in languages identified through client demand;

• Promoting and encouraging the use of such professionally trained interpreters and translators by service providers;

• Encouraging those people for whom English is not their main language of communication to request the provision of interpreting and translation by service providers.
