Aside from studying the CPC and participating in continuing education on ethics, it’s important to recognize that accountability and integrity are foundational to the CPC and EPS. Below are three definitions from the revised EPS policy that may help answer your question.
Integrity is defined as “Behaviors that demonstrate trustworthiness, honesty, respect, authentic self-reflection taking into account the intent and impact of the practitioner’s actions, willingness to be held accountable by consumers and colleagues, and uphold professional standards before, during, and after interpreting encounters and professional-related activities.”
Accountability is defined as: “An interpreting professional’s disposition and behaviors that demonstrate a willingness to be responsible for their actions, be answerable to consumers, their colleagues and RID and to report, explain or give response to any action that is called into question as causing or perpetuating harm to the consumer or the interpreting profession.”
Continuous compliance is defined as: “Conduct demonstrated while actively interpreting, representing oneself as an interpreter in professionally constructed spaces both in person and in digital spaces, as well as promoting the appearance of oneself as an agent of the profession.”
Additionally, please see this section in the EPS policy that lists prohibited actions. Note: the listed prohibited activities are not exhaustive.
