Description
In 2004, after two years of national consensus building, the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC) published the National Code of Ethics for Interpreters in Health Care. It joined other existing codes produced for translators, judicial interpreters and ASL interpreters in delineating ethical guidelines to inform the work of interpreters in the field. Twenty years later, NCIHC has initiated a review of the National Code of Ethics in order to align it with current practice in healthcare interpreting, expand it to address remote interpreting scenarios, and adjust its language to conform with DEI standards. Also this year, the American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education (AATIE) published a new code of ethics for interpreters in education, and a dialogue has ensued among AAITE, NCIHC, ATA, and NAJIT about the differences between the codes guiding interpreters in different venues. Are the differences between venues great enough to justify separate codes of ethics? Are there some shared principles, and some which differ by venue? Or should there be one unified code of ethics for all interpreters, regardless of venue? This presentation will both update participants as to the current state of these initiatives and share opportunities for participation in these discussions so that Northwest interpreter voices will be reflected in these national discussions
