This collaboration between Interpreting NZ and Decypher came about as we recognised a huge need in Aotearoa to educate users of Language Services Providers (and Language Services Providers themselves) on the necessity of using professional interpreters, and how to identify a professional and ethical provider.
We will continue to advocate across the sector and Qi will be a vehicle to do this.
We eventually hope that other organisations will come aboard the Qi Charter and carry the mark that demonstrates their commitment to the standard.
Many thanks to all who have contributed to this initiative.
As leading Language Services Providers in Aotearoa we feel an obligation to serve the sector and make it the best it can be, beyond the business of providing interpreters.
We hope this will become a valuable reference and resource for all.
