How many tenets are included in the RID CPC?

The RID Code of Professional Conduct (CPC) encompasses five tenets. These tenets serve as foundational principles guiding the professional behavior and ethical practice of interpreters. They are designed to uphold the integrity of the interpreting profession and ensure that interpreters provide high-quality service to their clients. Each tenet focuses on different aspects of professional responsibility, including confidentiality, professionalism, and respect for consumer autonomy, among others. By adhering to these tenets, interpreters demonstrate their commitment to ethical standards and contribute to the overall effectiveness and credibility of the interpreting profession. Understanding and applying these five tenets is essential for interpreters to navigate ethical dilemmas and maintain professionalism in their work.
