Dinny, Your CPD is your CPD and should be an account of your development. In my case I started with my job description and filed it under Job Description. I also compiled a CV and filed that under Profile . My reasoning being that any auditor can see exactly what I do and where I have come from. I had a very simple development plan that stated I would try to attend 80% of SE Branch meetings and that because of the nature of my work which did not allow forward planning with any accuracy I would fill in my CPD retrospectively in most cases. I also stated that I would attend development courses, seminars and meetings where business permitted. When my circumstances changed & I was made redundant I updated my development plan to reflect that I would be reading more and going on these forums more. What do I put in my CPD? Every branch and consultants meeting I attend whether I give them a credit or not. Every "event" where I think I learn something significant (this could be during an audit, talking to my peers, doing a method statement - anything), every course I attend, meetings I attend. Each "event" I award a credit from 0 to 3 depending what I believe I learned from that "event". I find it easiest when filling in my CPD to type up the description first in word then just paste it in. I normally fill in a few at a time but type up in word soon after the event so I do not forget anything significant. Take Care
