Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is an ongoing and systematic effort to ensure that social workers equip themselves with the knowledge, skills, values, and professional practices through continuous learning. This approach is crucial as the field of social work is constantly evolving and challenging. Therefore, social workers must continuously enhance their knowledge and competence to provide the best services to the community.
The CPD Seminar was introduced in 2023 as an initiative to provide exposure to social workers and practitioners about the need for ongoing education, training, and professional development, especially with the anticipated passing of the Social Work Profession Bill.
