Policies
The Register of Irish Sign Language Interpreters (RISLI) have updated two key policies:
· Registration Process and Procedures
The Registration Process and Procedures sets out the process for registering with RISLI as an Irish Sign Language (ISL) Interpreter and what an interpreter needs to do to maintain registration.
The Good Practice Guide outlines what RISLI expects of interpreters in terms of best practices and expected behaviours. The Good Practice Guide is a voluntary guidance for registered interpreters.
These documents have been updated following a public consultation in 2025, a legal review and have also been reviewed by the Registration Panel and Board.
You can download the updated policy documents below. ISL and plain English summaries are available for each policy. We will be translating these policies fully into ISL.
We are currently finalising our CPD and Work Practice Policy, which will be published shortly.
If you have any questions relating to the policies, please contact register@risli.ie
