Additionally, all court proceedings utilized an interpreter provided by the court. During visits that were not with LE or at court, the agency utilized an interpreter service that contracts with the County. The worker stated that obtaining an interpreter was quite easy and that an interpreter was generally always available if given 24 hour notice of when\/where it would be needed. \r\n\r\nRegarding the Key Observation, the worker stated that not utilizing an interpreter during the one visit with extended family was due to two things. Primarily it was that the meeting time with family members was not scheduled as the family was traveling to Minnesota from Texas and they were unable to give the worker a time of arrival. For this reason, she was unable to schedule an interpreter due to the uncertainty of the meeting time. A bilingual family member was used during that meeting to interpret. She noted that the meeting took place to make sure that they were in agreement on a case plan, which they had already been made aware of and she just needed to ensure this. The bilingual family member had told the worker that the family wasn't understanding all of her translations so the worker answered their questions and left it at that.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:04:21 am","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:04:21 am","id":29102}
