Social Work England has proposed doubling the annual requirement for recording continuing professional development (CPD) for practitioners seeking to renew their registration.
The proposal is included in a consultation on reforming CPD for the December 2021 to December 2022 registration year, issued yesterday. The requirement for the current registration year – December 2020 to December 2021 – remains the submission of one piece of CPD to social workers’ online accounts with the regulator.

Social Work England has removed 256 practitioners from the register for not meeting the final deadline to submit a piece of CPD in order to renew their registration. The regulator said that the low figure – as a proportion of the 97,000 social workers who needed to renew this year – showed that its controversial requirement for practitioners to submit a piece of CPD in order to renew was “straightforward and manageable”.
Just under 1,000 social workers remain at risk of removal from the register for not submitting CPD to Social Work England, with just under two weeks until the deadline.
