The National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD) “exist to protect the public by regulating communication and language professionals who work with deaf and deafblind people.” This organisation has registrants from a number of professions, including Speech-to-Text Reporters, lipspeakers and sign language interpreters.

Whilst it is not currently mandatory for STTRs/captioners to be on the Register, many of our members are long-standing registrants and submit Continuing Professional Development units for this purpose.

About

I began training to be a Palantypist in Aug 1990 straight after finishing A Levels at school. I worked at Snaresbrook Crown Court and then after qualifying in 1993 I went to work at the Old Bailey. After transferring companies and moving to work at Courts in Essex for a few years, in 1998 I started to branch into STTR and live captioning work and have done mainly that ever since. I am a member of BIVR, AVSTTR and I am NRCPD registered.
I'm interested in deaf and disability issues. I passed my Level 1 in British Sign Language during the Covid lockdown.
I have recently moved to Mid Wales for a quieter life. I enjoy working from home but I can work in Shropshire, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester or Wales if required.
