The jurisdiction of the RID EPS covers individual interpreters who are required to adhere to the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct (CPC) while interpreting. NAD and RID do not regulate the business practices of service providers. However, starting in 2013, NAD and RID formed a joint task force to look into this situation. The Reputable Agency Task Force is charged with recommending solutions to addressing ethical practices of businesses.
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.
