CPD as an ongoing and planned learning and development process that contributes to work-based and personal development. By enabling workers to expand and fulfil their potential, CPD ensures continuing confidence and competence, particularly in ever-changing environments. And that means better quality experiences for people who use social care services. This CPD strategy applies to the whole social care workforce, across all its organisations and settings. It applies to all workers and managers in social care, including social workers, and encompasses all types of learning at all levels. It includes, but is more than, ’training’, ‘qualifications’, ‘registration’, and ‘post-registration training and learning’. It reflects a social development model, which values and promotes greater recognition of all work and roles within social care, paid and unpaid, and which enables flexible career pathways. Offering the right CPD is key to employers’ ability to attract and keep staff, and to help them value the work they are doing—a principal reason for working in social care.
