Where we interpret
On-site interpreters for CPS interviews at home visits, CPS offices and family meetings
A caseworker meets a family wherever the case requires. Tell us the address and who will be there, and the interpreter reads your notes before the visit.
Home visits
The caseworker sits down with the parents in the family's home, and the interpreter comes to that address. List the adults and children expected to be there, so the interpreter knows who may speak.
CPS offices
Interviews and meetings with parents are also held at the agency office. Tell us the caseworker's name and the building, so the interpreter can check in with the right person.
Family meetings
A family meeting brings the caseworker and the family to one table to talk about the case. Add the meeting room and the names of the family members who will join.
In-person interviews
What to know about in-person child protective services interviews with an interpreter
When the interpreter is in the room
Child protective services caseworkers meet families at the family's home, at the agency office or in a meeting room. The agency books on-site for visits and meetings held face to face, and the interpreter sits with the parent or caregiver. The dispatcher checks the interpreters closest to the address first. The hourly rate already includes travel inside the interpreter's metro area, and a longer trip is quoted as a separate line when you book.
Who takes part
The caseworker or investigator leads the visit and asks the questions about the family's situation. The parent or caregiver answers. Children may be present, and the caseworker may speak with them. A supervisor sometimes joins a meeting. The interpreter sits beside the parent or caregiver and interprets for the caseworker and the family.

The interpreter's role
The visit should go as clearly as it would if the caseworker and the family shared a language. Everything is interpreted in full, in both directions and in the first person, including what a child says. The interpreter takes no side and keeps what they hear confidential. They do not advise the parents or explain the agency's decisions.

One address per booking
At a home visit, the interpreter reports to one address and interprets there, so book each home as its own visit with its own start time. Book the hours for the time the caseworker plans to spend at that address.

Questions about on-site interpreters for child protective services interviews
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Can a relative or a neighbor interpret instead?
No. A family member never interprets, because they may be part of the case. The interpreter is neutral and has no stake in the outcome.
02Can the interpreter join an interview with a child?
Yes, for an interview led by a trained interviewer, such as a forensic interview at a child advocacy center. The interpreter follows the interviewer's lead and interprets word for word.
03Does the interpreter need to know about the case beforehand?
Add what you can to the booking notes, such as the names of the people and the kind of meeting. The interpreter reads them before the visit, and everything the interpreter hears stays confidential under an NDA.
04Can you send an interpreter to a family who lives far from a large city?
Yes. Book as soon as the visit is set, because a family outside a large metro area needs more notice. Longer trips are priced as their own line in the quote.
05How is an on-site visit priced?
You pay by the hour for the hours you book, and the total shows before you pay. A visit takes longer when each part is interpreted, and unused time is not refunded, so book some margin.
06Which languages are available for home visits and meetings?
70 languages. Spanish, Haitian Creole, Arabic, Portuguese, Vietnamese and Mandarin are the easiest to schedule. Rarer languages need more notice, especially outside large metro areas.
07Are your Punjabi interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Punjabi interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
