Introduction

On this page you will find a collection of some of our most popular tools for individuals or groups of professionals to use in their learning and professional development. The videos, podcasts, webinars, Learn as a group CPD sessions, case studies and other resources featured here are a small selection of those on the site. Some of the links below will take you to more learning tools and you can use the search bar above or go to our knowledge and practice hub directory to search by topic.

You can also use our group and multimedia learning activities directory which is organised alphabetically by topic and shows at a glance each activity’s format, learning objectives, what equipment or technology you’ll need to facilitate a group learning session, and its estimated duration.

Add item to CPD Log (SWE)

Social Work England’s CPD requirements have changed for 2022. A minimum of two pieces need to be recorded for the year and submitted before the end of the renewal period on 30 November, and at least one must show evidence of peer reflection. Our CPD form and log are being updated to match the new requirements and forms; these changes will appear shortly. CPD you have already recorded will remain in your log.

Learning

Use the boxes below to record what you have learned from this activity. The form below replicates that used by Social Work England on your online account, so that when you have to renew your registration you can include this as evidence of your continuing professional development. Everything you write will be stored in your Inform account from which you can export all the information as a Word file and upload to an unstructured form on the Social Work England website or print it off for other uses – for example, in supervision.

1. What was your job role? Briefly provide the context of your role when you did the CPD?

2. What did you do? Provide more information to explain the title of the CPD, for example, what you did and/or what happened.

3. Critical reflection - explain the impact that the CPD had on the quality of your practice.

4. Social Work England have eight CPD standards (4.1-4.8). Which of these do you believe your learning demonstrates? Note down and reflect on as many as apply. The eight standards are:

4.1 Incorporate feedback from a range of sources, including from people with lived experience of my social work practice.
4.2 Use supervision and feedback to critically reflect on, and identify my learning needs, including how I use research and evidence to inform my practice.
4.3 Keep my practice up to date and record how I use research, theories and frameworks to inform my practice and my professional judgement.
4.4 Demonstrate good subject knowledge on key aspects of social work practice and develop knowledge of current issues in society and social policies impacting on social work.
4.5 Contribute to an open and creative learning culture in the workplace to discuss, reflect on and share best practice.
4.6 Reflect on my learning activities and evidence what impact continuing professional development has on the quality of my practice.
4.7 Record my learning and reflection on a regular basis and in accordance with Social Work England's guidance on continuing professional development.
4.8 Reflect on my own values and challenge the impact they have on my practice.
