After a visit
A decision you keep thinking about
A complex assessment raises questions about thresholds. Keep the learning, never the family details.
“What would I weigh differently next time?”
Passport for social workers and care professionals
Your social work CPD.
Written up before renewal.
The supervision that helped you see a family differently. The training you keep coming back to. Keep your learning and reflections in a free personal Passport, so renewal is a review, not a rush.
Free personal CPD log. No card. No trial. Your record, not your employer's.
Learning happens in every visit
See your working week in your CPD.
Reflection is part of the job. Give it somewhere to land before it gets lost under casework.
In supervision
Reflection with a peer
Talking a case through with a colleague is exactly the kind of peer reflection Social Work England asks for.
“What did I see from their perspective?”
In adult social care
Care Certificate learning that sticks
Care workers can tag learning against the Care Certificate standards and keep it as they move between providers.
“How will this change my care tomorrow?”
Illustrative learning situations, not customer stories. Keep people you support, families and colleagues unidentifiable.
Why keep your record here?
A little less scattered.
A lot more yours.
Capture the thought while it is fresh
Use Quick Log and your personal QR shortcut to open your log on your phone. Return to the reflection when you have space to think.
Get beyond 'attended a course'
Keep what you learned, how it applies and the difference it could make together. Your own words, at your own pace.
Keep a record through every move
New local authority, agency, provider or team: use the same personal account. Your employer does not automatically get access to your private reflections.
Bring the evidence with you
Attach certificates to CPD entries and export a PDF or CSV when you want a copy or something to share.
Small habits, meaningful learning
Your CPD can grow from the reflection you already do.
A training session. A supervision conversation. Time reflecting on a case. Explore a monthly rhythm that keeps renewal stress-free.
Social Work England asks for CPD records each registration year, including peer reflection, before renewal. It does not set fixed hours, so the targets here are suggested habits.
Read Social Work England guidanceFind your monthly rhythm
A suggested habit of 20 hours a year.
Your illustrative annual total
36 hours / year
That rhythm reaches a 20-hour year, with room to build on it.
A planning illustration, not a compliance check or saved CPD entry. Only relevant, completed learning with reflection belongs in your record.
Alongside your official record
Your Passport and your regulator have different jobs.
Passport gives your learning and reflections a personal home. Social workers still record CPD on their Social Work England account before renewal.
We do not submit records to Social Work England or sync entries automatically. Follow current guidance.
For team managers and registered managers
Support development. Leave room for the person.
Bring mandatory training and development into one place. Passport for Teams gives you oversight, while personal reflections stay private unless shared.
Organisation features require an eligible paid plan and authorised manager access.

Does Passport replace my Social Work England account?
No. You still record your CPD with Social Work England before renewal. Passport is a personal space to draft and organise it.
What is free, and what needs PassportPro?
Your personal Passport is free, with no trial or card details. Record activities and reflections, attach evidence, set your own hours target, import a CSV and export your record. PassportPro is optional and adds features including AI reflection coaching, certificate reading and the Training Locker.
Does it work for care workers?
Yes. The Care Certificate's 15 standards come pre-loaded for adult social care staff.
What happens when I change authority, agency or provider?
Your personal Passport belongs to you, not your employer. Keep using the same account through every move, so your learning history comes with you.
Can my employer see my personal reflections?
Not automatically. You choose what to export or share from your personal record. Keep people you support, families and colleagues out of your reflections. Separate organisation training records may be visible to authorised managers.
Your next reflection deserves more than a case note.
Start with one thing you learned this week. A visit, a conversation, a change you want to make.
- Free personal record, with optional PassportPro upgrades
- Evidence and reflections in one place
- Yours through every change of employer
