These Community of Practice sessions are designed to be dedicated reflective places for practicing MHOs across Scotland to network with peers and engage in reflective discussion on prearranged topics to support professional learning and development. There will be a CoP for MHOs planned on a quarterly basis and each CoP will have a dedicated theme. The CoPs will attract 3 hours CPD. Please book below and come and join us. You will receive an agenda and some reading prior to the session, which will be used to inform the discussion. The session will take place on MS Teams.

This session is free and will be a safe and informal space to ask questions and meet other newly qualified social workers.
In this session we will explore the principles behind a co-production approach to gathering, exploring and using diverse types of evidence to support you in learning and development of practice skills and knowledge. It will form the basis of how we deliver further practice workshops, ensuring we draw upon all forms of knowledge which contribute to practice knowledge and practice development.
