Checklist for good practice

  • Maintaining confidentiality

  • Gender-matching

  • Pre-briefing

  • Verbatim interpreting

  • Not deflecting attention and escalating

  • De-briefing

  • Post-session plan for confidentiality

 

M5_2: Do you have any other thoughts or comments you would like to make that this video triggered for you?

  • What are your thoughts about internalised sexism, and ‘women policing women’ to preserve the patriarchal status quo?

  • Are you shocked about the mortality rate of victims of domestic and family violence?

  • In your service organisation, where do interpreters typically obtain opportunity to debrief and address possible secondary victimisation? (Responses are to be DEIDENTIFIED/ANONYMISED).

  • Anything else?
