NRPSI works to make sure that:

• Registered interpreters meet the standards for professional practice and conduct
• Complaints about the competence of an interpreter are investigated correctly
• The importance of registration is highlighted. Registration helps improve understanding of the added value to both the profession and society
• The role of a regulatory body is understood
