Chapter Discussion on Ethical & Professional Codes
​
Codes are common to service-related professions. ASL-English interpretation is service-related profession with it's own professional code. Codes guide behaviors and decision-making of providers. This discussion will look at RID's Code of Professional Conduct as well as codes from non-interpreting fields like education, legal, medical, finance, realtor, and philanthropy. Finally, codes of interpreters and translators outside of RID will be considered.
​
Ethical & Professional Codes chapter discussion is facilitated by Amy Kroll. This interactive chapter discussion is for working and student interpreters.
​
By the end of this chapter discussion, you will be able to...
-
Identify similarities / differences between RID CPC and other codes in interpreting and non-interpreting fields
-
Articulate how ethical / professional codes influence the work of interpreters
