The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc (RID) is a non-profit organization, founded in 1964 and incorporated in 1972, that seeks to uphold standards, ethics, and professionalism for American Sign Language interpreters. RID is the only organization in the United States that credentials both d/Deaf and Hearing interpreters to provide services in a wide range of settings, as well as test and certify interpreters for legal work. The RID Board is committed to the "4 R's" which are: Roots, Respect, Relevance and Results. As of 2014 there were over 15,000 members and 58 affiliate chapters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rid.org/2014-annual-report/#mem-svcs )〕 Since August 2004, RID has been building stronger ties with the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), including a joint Code of Professional Ethics and the merging of their respective certification programs. They jointly developed the National Interpreter Certification test (NIC), which was adopted in 2005. == Code of Professional Conduct == As part of their push to improve the ethical behavior of practitioners in the field, RID revised and updated existing guidelines from the Code of Ethics. In 2005, the Code of Professional Conduct was adopted as the newest set of principles interpreters should adhere to. Certified interpreters have an especially strong duty to follow the principles laid out by RID, for the integrity of the work, the well being of the stakeholders, and to avoid causing harm. The tenets from the current Code of Professional Conduct are: # Interpreters adhere to standards of confidential communication. # Interpreters possess the professional skills and knowledge required for the specific interpreting situation. # Interpreters conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to the specific interpreting situation. # Interpreters demonstrate respect for consumers. # Interpreters demonstrate respect for colleagues, interns, and students of the profession. # Interpreters maintain ethical business practices. # Interpreters engage in professional development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
