Organizations that hire College members employ professionals who are accountable for their practice and are dedicated to ongoing professional development. The College’s Continuing Competence Program (CCP) ensures that members remain current in their practice. The CCP requires members to engage in self-assessment and goal-setting on an annual basis to ensure that they continue to learn and develop as professionals throughout their careers.
Members of the College must declare that they have completed their annual CCP when they renew their registration. The College’s annual membership renewal period is now open; members must pay their fees and submit their CCP declaration at the same time. We require members to:
- Review the Standards of Practice.
- Complete a self-assessment based on those principles.
- Set goals and carry out learning activities based on their self-assessment.
We encourage you, as an employer of social workers and/or social service workers, to inform and support the members on your staff to complete their CCP. Their participation in the CCP helps to ensure that they remain current with emerging practice knowledge, which in turn helps to mitigate risk for your organization.
