Problem

Why this is hard to manage manually.

CPD can become a loose collection of notes, certificates and declarations unless it is linked to staff records and review actions.

CPD logs are often owned by individuals with little manager visibility.

Evidence is stored separately from the CPD activity it supports.

Professional development actions can be missed after reviews.

Reporting takes time because CPD status is not connected to the wider workforce record.

SkillProof workflow

SkillProof records CPD activity, evidence status and review outcomes in the Development area.
