Support for residents
On this page you can find out how to use our interpreting, translation and British Sign Language interpreting services. Our services are available to all public sector organisations and Newham residents.
If you need an interpreter or your documents translated to use a council service, you should contact the manager of the service you wish to use. He or she will make arrangements to help you.
You may also ask someone to speak to the service manager on your behalf.
You can telephone us on 020 3373 4000 or email languageshop@newham.gov.uk to find out who the service manager is.
Become an interpreter
We are always looking for new interpreters and we try to recruit them from the local community.
If you would like to register with us as an interpreter and/or translator, you should create an account and fill in our application form.
