When you intervene

• It's ok to say something to one party and a different thing to the other party to avoid hurting their feelings.

• You should look down and keep your voice down.

• You should not refer to yourself as "the interpreter."

• Intervene quickly, and resume your interpreting as soon as possible.

Transparency is important when you mediate because

• If you are not transparent, the provider and the patient/service user will not trust you.

• Without transparency, you are not accurate.

• It is easy to accidentally say biased things to one of the parties if you are not transparent.

• It takes less time to be transparent than not.
