Peer reflective sessions

Following the success of the reflective sessions in 2022 we have decided to make them an monthly event to support CPD being an ongoing activity.

The requirements for 2023 remain the same as they were for 2022

• A minimum of 2 pieces of CPD, including

• At least one piece of CPD with a peer reflection.

CPD is also a requirement for annual registration renewal. Social workers who wish to continue their practice have to meet the CPD requirements, apply to renew and pay their registration fees by 30 November 2023.

Peer reflection means you have discussed the content of your CPD activity with a peer, your manager or another professional.

Facilitated by our regional engagement leads who are social workers themselves, these online reflective sessions offer a space to reflect on our professional standards with your peers.

You are expected to listen to a podcast to prepare for the session.

You will then join fellow social workers to share what you learnt and the impact it has or will have on your practice during the hour long reflective session. Due to the nature of these events, please arrive on time to avoid disappointment. We will close entry after 10 minutes once attendees have begun their discussions.
