A discussion with Social Work England: CPD and renewal

Hannah Scott, Research and Development Officer at Research in Practice and registered social worker, talks to Social Work England’s Regional Engagement Lead, Catherine Witt, who is also a registered social worker. In 2020, as the first renewal period opened with Social Work England as the new regulator for social workers, we recorded a podcast with Social Work England to discuss what the changes meant for social workers, particularly in relation to continuing professional development (CPD). Hannah and Catherine look back at Social Work England’s first year as regulator, how the renewal process went in 2020, findings from a public consultation with the sector, and what the ongoing expectations for social workers are as we enter the 2021 renewal period.
