RID Code of Professional Conduct
KAI-RID
Kansas Association of Interpreters-Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf
A code of professional conduct is a necessary
component to any profession to maintain standards
for the individuals within that profession to adhere. It
brings about accountability, responsibility and trust to
the individuals that the profession serves.
RID, along with the National Association of the Deaf
(NAD), co-authored the ethical code of conduct for
interpreters. Both organizations uphold high
standards of professionalism and ethical conduct for
interpreters. At the core of this code of conduct are
the seven tenets, which are followed by guiding
principles and illustrations.
The tenets are to be viewed holistically and as a
guide to complete professional behavior. When in
doubt, one should refer to the explicit language of the
tenet.
TENETS
1. Interpreters adhere to standards of confidential
communication.
2. Interpreters possess the professional skills and
knowledge required for the specific interpreting
situation.
3. Interpreters conduct themselves in a manner
appropriate to the specific interpreting situation.
4. Interpreters demonstrate respect for consumers.
5. Interpreters demonstrate respect for colleagues,
interns, and students of the profession.
6. Interpreters maintain ethical business practices.
7. Interpreters engage in professional development.
