Capture useful CPD detail
Record enough information to understand the activity: date, category, description, evidence status and any follow-up action.
Avoid turning CPD into a long form that staff stop using.
Link evidence and review status
Evidence should be close to the CPD activity it supports.
Managers should be able to tell whether the record is recorded, awaiting review or approved where review is required.
Connect CPD to development actions
CPD often links to appraisals, supervision or professional registration requirements.
SkillProof keeps CPD records in the Development area alongside appraisals and development actions.
Put this guide into practice
Turn the guidance into a working compliance process.
List the records, evidence files and renewal dates you currently track.
Decide who owns each record: admin, manager, employee or compliance lead.
Mark which items are overdue, due soon, missing evidence or ready for review.
Choose the next report or audit pack you would need if someone asked for evidence today.
