Title: The Future of Social Work CPD Training Is Now Here


1
The Future of Social Work CPD Training Is Now Here
2
The New Approach to CPD
  • Changed from the General Social Care Council
  • to
  • Health Care Professions Council requirements
    for CPD

3
The New Approach to CPD
  • Continuing professional development is essential
    to ensure that social workers remain
  • up to date with professional developments, and
    can adjust their practice in line with new
  • evidence

4
The New Approach to CPD
  • Recognition that learning can, and does, take
    place in a range of different ways and
    circumstances. It is not always associated with a
    course and the development need may be met
    through a range of different activities.

5
The New Approach to CPD
  • Outcomes of learning and career development
    routes are identified
  • within the professional capabilities framework
  • (PCF)

6
PCF
7
The New Approach to CPD
  • Social workers will be supported by employers
    and expected to take professional responsibility
    for developing their skills to a high
    professional level, through undertaking learning
    and development activities over and above the
    core
  • standards required for re-registration with HCPC
  • The College Of Social Work

8
The New Approach To CPD
  • This principle makes explicit the need for social
    workers to take responsibility for identifying
    and meeting their individual professional needs.
    Learning activities will arise from everyday
    work, as well as any other requirements imposed
    by external circumstances or organisational
    needs. Professional social workers are expected
    to be proactive in identifying needs and ways of
    meeting them

9
Social Work Reform Board TCSW
  • 8 Standards for Employers of SW in England and
    Supervision Framework
  • This is a requirement for Recruiters too!
  • 6. Provide opportunities for CPD, as well as
    access to research and practice guidance
  • 7. Ensure social workers can maintain their
    professional registration
  • 8. Establish effective partnerships with HE
    institutions and other organisations to support
    the delivery of SW education and CPD

10
The New Approach to CPD
  • GOOD NEWS FOR RECRUITERS!

11
The New Approach to CPD
  • No Training is the right training, CPD should be
    based on the needs of the social worker to
    develop the professional-self using a range of
    training which supports self learning and
    development with the social worker evidencing
    through their portfolio how they use this
    learning for the benefit of service users

12
A Range of LD
  • - Action learning sets
  • - Access to research
  • - Professional supervision
  • - Critical incident analysis
  • - Critical reflection

13
Broadening Opportunities
  • In-house
  • External
  • Distance learning courses
  • Academically accredited modules/courses
  • Master Classes
  • Master Level CPD courses

14
The New Approach to CPD
  • Even with out the onus from the Reform Board for
    employers to support this development Recruiters
    still need to ensure their locum social workers
    are fit for purpose and support them to register
    a portfolio in line with these changes, helping
    them to track their CPD

15
The Challenge for Recruiters
  • How do you evidence locum Social worker to
    re-registration, assess their learning needs,
    offer CPD so that they can stay employable?

16
The Challenge for Recruiters
  • Learning and development needs must now be
    identified, planned for and monitored
  • through annual appraisal cycles and supervision

17
The Challenge for Recruiters
  • Mechanisms for recognising and recording CPD
    activities will be established to provide clarity
    of process, and port ability across the country
  • How will this be possible for Locum Social
    Workers who move frequently from job to job?

18
Meeting The New Approach Now
  • Focus not on hours but the regulator expects a
    range of planned learning activities through out
    the 2 year period with reflection on the impact
    of practice of that learning. Each time it comes
    to an end each worker will have to summarise
    their CPD and its impact, starting at 2012. A
    random 2.5 of SWs be chosen to as evidence
  • It is important that social workers keep their
    learning log

19
The Regulator HCPC Website
  • 1. Maintain a continuous, up-to-date and accurate
    record of their CPD activities
  • 2. Demonstrate that their CPD activities are a
    mixture of learning activities relevant to
    current or future practice
  • 3. Seek to ensure that their CPD has contributed
    to the quality of their practice and service
    delivery
  • 4. Seek to ensure that their CPD benefits the
    service user and
  • 5. Upon request, present a written profile (which
    must be their own work and supported by evidence)
    explaining how they have met the standards for
    CPD.
  • Whenever a profession renews its registration, we
    randomly audit (check) the CPD of 2.5 per cent of
    professionals from that profession. Those
    registrants who are chosen for audit must submit
    a CPD profile to show how their CPD meets our
    standards

20
How To Meet the Requirements
  • Standard 1.
  • Make sure your locums are keeping a continuous
    record or log of the types and dates of
    activities they are doing A CPD profile List
    covering 2 years and an individual learning plans

21
How To Meet The Requirements
  • Standard 2.
  • Have the evidence accessible in one place so it
    can be printed off for the Regulators if
    required, this is the portfolio including a
    detailed personal statement

22
How To Meet The Requirements
  • Standard 3.
  • Make sure your locums have been doing reflective
    logs of a good standard on a regular basis over
    the 2 years - using a reflective template that
    shows development

23
How To Meet The Requirements
  • Standard 4.
  • Ensure that the reflective logs that your locums
    are doing over the 2 years - identify the impact
    of their development on service users

24
How To Meet The Requirements
  • Standard 5.
  • Give the Regulators the completed portfolios of
    all your locums if requested an easy to use
    process of gathering information
