Remember to book as far in advance as possible, preferably two to three weeks.

Please provide an emergency telephone number for a lipspeaker, in case of delay.

Lipspeakers need to know:

• Date, time, place and nature of the job
• As much background information as possible (supporting papers and special jargon/acronyms sent beforehand helps preparation)
• Rates of pay and conditions of service, including details of rest breaks, mealtimes, and lengths of sittings, wherever possible
• Full details of invoicing arrangements

This information should be sent in writing following a telephone booking. The lipspeaker should also confirm acceptance of the job in writing.

Fees may still be required if a booking is cancelled.
