Renewal without the panic

Your best learning happens in supervision and on cases. Capture it while it is fresh.

A training day is easy to remember. The supervision conversation that reframed a complex case, the research you read before a strategy meeting, the feedback from a family - those are the reflections that make strong CPD records, and they are the ones that get lost by November.

Record what you did

Add the activity, date, provider and time spent. Courses are only the start - record supervision, reading and learning from practice too.

Capture what changed

Add a reflection while the learning is fresh: what you learned, why it matters and what you will do differently in practice.

Share when you choose

Export a clear PDF or CSV, or create a read-only link for an appraiser. You stay in control of your record.

Built around social work practice

A record that stays with you

Whether you move between local authorities, agencies or independent practice, your CPD record stays with you and keeps building year on year.

Private by default

Your employer does not automatically see personal reflections. You decide what to share.

Ready for your renewal

Tag which records include reflection with a peer and the impact on your practice, so pulling together your annual CPD is quick.

No lock-in

Download your record as a PDF or CSV whenever you need it.

WorkplaceHero helps you organise your CPD. It does not replace the current CPD requirements of Social Work England or your employer.
