What is and what is not in the AUSIT Code of Ethics

This webinar looks at the AUSIT Code of Ethics to point out its most important principles and guides to ethical behaviour, while also looking at the areas which it sees as not part of interpreter or translator roles.

Registration Fee:

• $40 - General Public

• $15 - All Graduates T&I Discount (with ID verification. See below ‘How to Register’)

• Free – Students Only (please email webinars@allgraduates.com.au from your valid student email address for more information)

This 90 minute webinar will cover:

• The main principles of the Code of Ethics, particularly Accuracy, impartiality and Clarity of Role Boundaries

• Areas which the Code of Ethics specifically excludes, including ‘helping’, advocacy and cultural mediation

• The importance of professional judgement when making ethical judgements

• Diverse views contained in other codes of ethics and controversies over role

Who would this be useful for?

Interpreters and translators of all backgrounds, but particularly those new to the profession or who work in some of the smaller, newer emerging languages and who have not undergone formal ethics education.
