In the spirit of accountability and integrity, it is better for the member to self-disclose. If the member does not self-disclose, they do not demonstrate self-accountability or integrity. RID will investigate reports of interpreters with criminal convictions who may present a risk to vulnerable populations.
RID’s purpose is to serve equally our members, profession, and the public by promoting and advocating for qualified and effective interpreters in all spaces where intersectional diverse Deaf lives are impacted.
