David Kandrac BA (Hons), PgDip

Roma Consultant | Medical-Legal Interpreter | Professional Trainer

Specialist Roma consultancy, medical-legal interpreting and professional training across healthcare, legal, safeguarding and educational settings in the United Kingdom and internationally.

More Than Interpretation

In legal, healthcare, safeguarding and educational settings, language barriers are rarely just about words. Cultural context, lived experience and trust can all shape how information is understood, shared and acted upon, particularly in sensitive or high-risk situations.

When professionals work with Roma individuals, families and communities, direct interpretation alone may not always be enough. Misunderstanding can arise not only from language, but from different expectations, unfamiliar systems and the way services are experienced by families.

Effective practice requires accurate communication, cultural understanding and professional sensitivity. This is where specialist Roma consultancy, medical-legal interpreting and training can support clearer decisions, stronger engagement and more informed outcomes.
