January 2025 Newsletter

Dear All,

The BU CPD team would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that you all had a restful and restorative festive break.

We are all back in full swing this week with a lot of work going into the revalidation process for the CPD framework. I am meeting with all academics to review the unit specifications and Intendent Learning Outcomes to ensure that our offer meets the needs of practice, not just now, but in the future. For example, we have met with stakeholders to consider a pathway for Newly Qualified Social Workers to support them to grow their skills and expertise, to develop their professional identity and then step up their legal literacy. With current government reviews of previous recommendations to structure an early career framework for Social Work, we want to support Local Authorities to meet the learning needs of their staff. If you have any specific questions about units that support Newly Qualified Social Workers, please contact Andy Morris.

Many of you have shared thoughts and ideas with us at our practice partner events in the summer and autumn 2024 and I wanted to say ‘Thank You’ for all your input. It has really helped us as a team to look at what we are good at and where we need to develop: from processes, to teaching materials and student support. We are now at the stage where we are reviewing all of our paperwork and getting it ready for presentation at the revalidation panel with external reviewers in the Spring!
