X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Join the CIOL Interpreting Divi sion for an insightful online session on a Ref lective Practice Group.

\n \n

Public service interpreters often work in demanding environments and encounter situations th at require not only technical skill\, but resilien ce and judgement and benefit from professional sup port. Earlier in the year\, CIOL and Interpreting Division piloted a reflective practice group with Pásalo\, providing a structured and confidential s pace for interpreters to share experience\, reflec t on challenging work\, and strengthen their profe ssional practice.

\n \n This session will draw on what we have l earned from the pilot and open a discussion about how reflective practice might develop further to i nvolve more CIOL members. Reflective practice is w idely used in sectors such as health and education as a way of supporting professional standards and practitioner wellbeing\, and as a means of buildi ng resilience and professional networks. For inter preters\, it can also form part of continuing prof essional development and support long-term profess ional resilience and career sustainability.

\n \n

In thi s webinar we will: \n \n

• Share insights and learning from the CIOL/ Pásalo Reflective Practice Group pi lot
\n • Reflect on themes from participant f eedback and emerging benefits
\n • Discuss op tions for making reflective practice groups more w idely available to CIOL members
\n • Hold a Q &A to hear members’ views on future provision

\n \n

This will be an open and exploratory session. We welcome inter preters and other interested CIOL members who woul d like to contribute to shaping this area of work.

\n \n

Who should attend:
\n • CIOL Member s who are Public Service Interpreters or have an i nterest in professional development and wellbeing \n • Interpreters working in other settings w ho are interested in reflective practice

\n \n
