The Professional Induction Programme (PIP) was developed by CLD Standards Council members to help those joining take advantage of all the benefits available as part of CLD Standards Council membership. Taking part will help you to
- Increase your awareness and understanding of
- the purpose, functions and professional standards of the CLD Standards Council and the requirements;
- the benefits of membership, with particular reference to professional learning and development
- being a member of the CLD Standards Council;
- the process of professional learning and development to professional practice, recognition and progression;
- the benefits that peer support and mentoring bring to professional learning and development.
- Produce a Professional Learning & Development (PL&D) Plan setting professional learning goals within the context of your practice and critically reflect on its development.
The programme is split into three units:
- The CLD Standards Council Scotland – its Vision, Values, Code of Ethics and functions;
- Registration, Learning and Review;
- Goal Setting and Plan Development.
Each unit takes approximately 5 hours, you have 3 months to complete the programme and you can set your own pace.
The programme is delivered through i-develop and you’ll be supported by a course mentor. All the course mentors are members of the CLD Standards Council Professional Learning Committee. You will also be able to connect with other members who are doing the programme through workshops.
