Submitting CPD
When submitting CPD to SiLC you should include a:
- log of maintaining and improving knowledge and understanding – with particular consideration to the SiLC criteria

SiLCs are encouraged to develop a CPD plan. Qualities that might be included, are:

- leadership/management skills.
Developing a CPD plan
When developing a CPD plan, you should:
- set objectives with a realistic challenge and target levels to achieve
- choose a preferred method of learning (or combination)
- include SiLC criteria requirements (eg keeping up-to-date with the LCR)
- reflect on activities and evidence of skills acquisition
- identify personally suitable potential subjects and qualities as suggested above.
