In 2023, efsli conducted an extensive survey to identify key areas of focus for enhancing the working conditions of European sign language interpreters. On the basis of this survey, Efsli created this toolkit, co-funded by the European Union. The survey, distributed to all full member countries of EFSLI, aimed to comprehensively assess the current working conditions of interpreters within the organisation. Its primary objective was to gather valuable insights into the challenges faced by interpreters in Denmark, Ireland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria, and France. Key areas of focus included their professional environment, job satisfaction, support systems, and any specific needs or challenges encountered in their daily work. Additionally, the survey sought to identify areas for improvement and gather recommendations from interpreters to enhance their overall working conditions. The data collected from the mentioned countries played a crucial role in shaping the recommendations. This toolbox covers the most highlighted findings, as well as the most urgent needs of European sign language interpreters.
