ITI seeks to develop and promote ethical practices among all those working within the profession.
Last autumn we launched an initiative to consider the potential to create an ethical framework for ITI members. Our first event was an open discussion meeting hosted by Dr Joseph Lambert which helped us to identify the range of topic areas that we want to explore in more detail. Over the past months have invited a range of experts and other stakeholders to help us to host this series of open discussions on these topics, with the aim of generating the core principles that will form our ethical framework.
ITI Coffee House - an online space for conversations about ethics
We have called this space for conversations about ethics the ITI Coffee House following the spirit of the coffee houses of the eighteenth century where the Enlightenment was born. The aim is for conversations to be informal and free-flowing and for participants to contribute rather than just to listen. The sessions generally run at lunchtime and each session lasts around 90 minutes.
If you are interested in shaping the debate about translation and interpreting ethics then come along and contribute to our work. We really want to hear from the professionals who are making ethical decisions in their daily working lives to ensure that we create an ethical framework that meets your needs.

Topics already covered in the Coffee House discussions range from Financial sustainability and ethical payment practices to Ethical practice within and outside of interpreting assignments and Trauma, ethics, and audiovisul translation.
