CPD - is the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills, and the development of personal
qualities necessary to deliver a professional service throughout your career as a social worker;
CPD - is all about your own professional career development so it's not an optional extra to be put on the back burner. You need
to get going now!
CPD - has benefits for everyone which include:
-
enhancement of individual professional status;
-
demonstration of individual commitment not only to existing but also future employers;
-
provision of a structure framework for employees and employers;
-
encouragement of higher standards of eprsonal performance;
-
increased job satisfaction.
CPD - for qualified social workers has been formalised by the development of the PQ framework which sets out arrangements
for universities and colleges, service users & carers, private/voluntary sector interests and local authorities to work together
to offer nationally recognised qualifications.
Future development
This area of the website is currently being developed and it is anticipated that a learning development resource specifically for social workers will be available here in the future. Until this time, please link below to screen shots of an existing learning development resource for health professionals which has been developed within the University of Plymouth:
