Description

The contract is to develop a continuous professional development (CPD) programme on permanence for child and family social workers. Specific responsibilities of the contractor are to:
• review existing training materials in this area;
• assess the level of user engagement based on an assessment of the target user groups capacity (time, capability) and over what period of time;
• define the programme goals (immediate, short term, medium term, long term) and expected outcomes;
• decide which delivery mechanisms should be used based on an assessment of the most effective training methods for improving practice and behaviours, both over the short and long term;
• develop the CPD programme content, materials and delivery mechanisms;
• define the mechanism by which we will know that social workers have achieved a suitable level of knowledge and skills against each module (how do we test SWs' K&S);
• design a method of recognition that is transferrable across employers;
• develop a quality assurance mechanism for CPD activities delivered by various providers;
• contribute to the decision on which authorities we should engage as early adopters; and
• work with the successful CPD programme delivery organisations (for which we will be holding a separate tendering exercise - and for which Mott MacDonald will be eligible to apply) to support their understanding of the programme materials and delivery mechanisms.
