Community Care Inform supports employers to ensure social work staff are suitably qualified, accountable, credible and competent. We do this by:

• Publishing expert-written practice guides; evidence-based research reviews; digested legislation and case law to keep practitioners up to date with changes in policy; practice and research surrounding all areas affecting children and families.

My CPD log:

Each individual subscriber has access to their own personal CPD log on Inform, allowing them to record their learning from articles they have read on Inform as well as any other learning or development they have completed outside of Inform. Using the CPD log, practitioners can demonstrate how using articles on Inform to build their knowledge can help them to better serve the children and families they work with.

Supporting The College of Social Work's Professional Capabilities Framework:

Community Care Inform has produced a detailed document that outlines how we support the Professional Capabilities Framework. We have identified relevant Inform guides that can be used to help professionals meet the criteria set out within the nine domains for each career level. Click here for access to this document.

Coming soon in 2013:

Community Care Inform will be launching a brand new CPD zone to support our subscribing local authorities. A new research review on the impact of training and CPD on a) practice and b) outcomes for children will also be published soon.
