On 24th of April at their AGM the Irish Association of Social Workers (IASW) launched their continuous professional development (CPD) folder. IASW believe the folder will be a key tool in preparing social workers for professional registration which will occur in early 2010. The CPD folder includes the IASW’ CPD policy and log, the policy outlines the purpose and importance of CPD as well as the minimum CPD points required of social workers in the areas of skill development, gaining new knowledge and supervision and the CPD log allows social workers to record their CPD actives. In addition the folder offers a framework to assist social workers when undertaking personal development planning and supervision. Frank Browne thanked the HSE’s, Professional Education Health and Social Care Human Resource Department for funding this CPD project, Harold’s Cross Hospice Social Work Department for piloting the CPD policy and the Australian Association of Social Workers for allowing IASW to use aspects of their policy.
