Workshop Description:
The NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct was last updated in 2005, nearly two decades ago. Much in the world has changed since including the way we interact in society. It's time to update the CPC to include additional protections for both the Deaf Communities and interpreters, particularly with respect to how we engage with one another through social media. There are also many ethical issues that need to be addressed by the conduct of interpreters when they are not interpreting, paralleling the ethical codes and practices of other professions. This workshop will raise issues that need to be examined, discussed, and addressed as we move forward with updating the CPC.
Educational Objectives:
Following this workshop participants will be able to:
- Articulate the challenges and limitations of the current CPC;
- Discuss specific new ethical issues faced by interpreters and members of the Deaf Communities;
- Describe why members of the Deaf Communities are frustrated by these new ethical issues, which has led to more mistrust; and
- Explore possible solutions to these new ethical issues.
