Family members, friends, and police officers are generally prohibited from acting as interpreters for individuals with disabilities.
Exceptions to this rule occur only in life-threatening emergencies where urgent information is required.
Using untrained individuals as interpreters can lead to misunderstandings and potentially dangerous situations.
Professional interpreters are trained to handle sensitive information and communicate effectively, ensuring clarity and accuracy.
In emergency scenarios, the priority shifts to conveying essential information rapidly, which may necessitate the use of available individuals.
