3. Access Services for Organisations or Institutes of Higher Learning (Long Term Contract):
Organisations, such as Institutes of Higher Learning, may consider having a long term contract with us for block booking of our services. The rates for block booking and their terms and conditions are different, to cater to the nature of school curriculums and academic institutes. Contact us to find out more.
4. Consultancy or Digital Accessibility Services (e.g. Accessibility Testing and Document Remediation):
This depends on the scope of work. Contact us and share more details so that we can provide an accurate quote.
The quoted price depends on factors such as complexity of the event set-up, complexity of the topic and duration of the event.
Based on such factors, we may also deploy more than one interpreter so that the quality of access is maintained throughout the event. This is a standard practice in professionalised sign language interpreting, and is done internationally.
Learn more about why more than one interpreter is required.
There are also urgency charges if the request is made ≤ 3 working days before the event time, and surcharges outside office hours.
Please check out our page on the EqD x Goh Chok Tong Enable Fund to see whether you can qualify. If you’re unsure, contact us and share more details about your request so we can better advise you on whether you can tap on this fund.
Yes — 2 hours. For example, if your event is 1.5 hours long, you will be charged the minimum engagement of 2 hours.
If they are available, our interpreters will stay on to continue providing the service. In such cases the extensions will be charged by 30 minute blocks.
If you have booked our access services for 3 hours, you will be billed for 3 hours, even if the event ends early. Billable duration will be the requested duration plus any timing extension on the actual day. This is because our team’s time has been booked, and we have made the commitment to provide services during this duration, incurring manpower costs.
If you have accepted our quotation, there will be cancellation charges.
For cancellations more than 72 hours before the event, 50% of the quoted amount will be charged.
For cancellations less than or equal to 72 hours before the event, 100% of the quoted amount will be charged.
We commit to providing our service for your request once both parties (yourself and Equal Dreams) have signed the quotation.
In the rare case of an emergency, where the interpreter is not able to make it at the last minute, we will do our best to deploy another interpreter. If that is not possible, there will be no charges.
Okay, I would like to request your services! How should I do so?
