Remember the top tips from the CPD sessions we have delivered:
- Consider CPD more widely: CPD is not just about courses, or e learning
- Make an appointment with yourself: What day will you set aside over the next few days to upload your CPD and renew?
- A peer can include another social worker, your manager, or a professional who has a good understanding of social work.
Social Work England also has some useful guidance on meeting the CPD requirements
