UNIT CODE
PSPTIS145
UNIT TITLE
Apply codes and standards to professional judgement
APPLICATION
This unit provides the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply current and relevant standards of professional and ethical behaviour by translators and interpreters in complex settings and interactions. The unit provides knowledge of professional codes of ethics and the development and maintenance of professional judgement. It provides the ability to consider a wide range of professional issues and to reflect on and continuously develop a highly informed approach to practice.
This unit applies to those working as translators and interpreters in a range of complex or specialised settings and contexts.
Complex settings are those that may involve specialised subjects requiring a high level of subject knowledge, or intense assignment specific preparation. The elements of the setting, or the number of parties involved, may limit the interpreter from managing the interaction. Translating or interpreting may be completed onsite or remotely. Translating and Interpreting in this setting typically requires high levels of accuracy and accountability and assignments involving formality, or participants with high status and accountability. The content of communication may not easily be predicted or planned for, and there are limited opportunities for error correction. The consequences of errors in communicative intent can have significant implications.
The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian Standards and industry codes of practice.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

COMPETENCY FIELD
UNIT SECTOR
Unnecessary inclusion
"No attempt has been made in PSPTIS102 to try and define application of ethical standards in terms of the settings by including the definition of general settings or documents. It is unclear what logic, if any, has dictated its inclusion here."

Confusion of T&I with professional judgement
"Professional judgement is not required because of the skopos of translation or the setting of interpreting. Professional judgement is required because the practitioner is confronted with dilemmas and knotty ethical problems, for which there is no good or easy solution and which will likely require the practitioner to consider and rely on multiple ethical principles. Further, the problems may require the exercise of advanced professional judgement in relation to professional, as opposed to ethical, practice, given that at the Adv Dip level the practitioner is an independent, autonomous professional with a business to run. Professional judgement may also relate to transfer choices and the need to defend them, irrespective of skopos or interpreting setting. Remove the reference to complex settings. It is not the setting that gives rise to the need for exercising professional judgement."
Heather Glass 06.06.2022 11.08AM
Confusion of translating and interpreting
"Remove the paragraph starting 'Complex settings are those...'. It is a confusion of translating and interpreting and as such, is nonsensical."
