What does the CPC recommend regarding interpreter feedback on the quality of services?

The recommendation for interpreters to be open to receiving constructive feedback aligns with the core values outlined in the RID Code of Professional Conduct. Being receptive to constructive feedback is crucial for professional development and maintaining the quality of interpreting services. This approach fosters continuous improvement and allows interpreters to enhance their skills and effectiveness in improving communication for their clients.

Furthermore, understanding and integrating feedback can help interpreters better address the nuances and challenges present in their work. By welcoming constructive criticism, interpreters can work towards refining their techniques, enhancing their understanding of cultural contexts, and ultimately delivering better service to their clients and the communities they serve. This openness also promotes a culture of learning and collaboration, which is essential for maintaining professionalism in the field.

In contrast, disregarding feedback or only accepting positive comments would hinder personal and professional growth, limiting the interpreter's overall efficacy and adaptability within diverse interpreting scenarios.
