9. CPD – the new approach - 2 • No more CPD points • No minimum hours of CPD. (CQI recommends 25 hours of CPD per year for a member actively engaged in the profession) • Members must take responsibility for their own personal professional development • CPD is about developing yourself to become more valuable to your employer, yourself, your colleagues and your profession. • It is not primarily a tool to police individual chartered members and re-grade those who do not undertake CPD

10. CPD – the new approach - 3 • Annual CPD objectives should be based on employer, client and your own requirements as well changes in quality practices • The amount of CPD should be proportionate to your professional commitments and CQI recognises that members may be required to undertake other CPD schemes • If members have personal development plans at work these can be used
