Introduction
One important aspect of any profession is to agree how members of that profession should conduct themselves in the course of their work and what values are important and should underpin the way they work.
Sign Language interpreters are professionals who provide an important service for Deaf and hearing people.
Associations of sign language interpreters have developed their own Code of Ethics, or Ethical Code or Code of Professional Conduct, which embodies those values and sets out how interpreters are expected to behave.
This page provides a range of Codes of Ethics (or links) of different national associations as well as links to relevant references.
WASLI would like to thank those national associations and related organisations that have given permission for links to be made to their websites.
