“Very useful. Clear theoretical perspective linked to practical experiences. It's something I can use straight away in my everyday practice.”

A one day workshop spent pondering the way we view ethical reasoning within the profession.

Having a set of rules has been helpful to a point, but more often interpreters are making choices which are based on the potential outcome of the decision, rather than what is written down in a rule book.

Often we break the rules. 

So maybe a model that doesn’t include a Rule Book is more useful?

We look at different ethical models, and some useful tools to break down assignments in ways where a more thorough examination of the consequences of professional interpreters’ decisions can be analysed.

A day full of discussion and debate.
