Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
The ASWNet provides opportunities for continuous professional development (CPD). CPD is self-led knowledge enrichment by social workers who are already qualified. The ASWNet provides knowledge resources and activities, and helps you plan for your CPD and to evaluate it. CPD is measured in hours of learning (HoL). We recommend a minimum of 12 hours of learning each year for a social worker. Use the button above to get more information or use this link.
