The CLD Standards Council has produced the Continuing Professional Development Strategy for Community Learning and Development. The strategic vision is that, for all CLD practitioners, their participation in continuous professional development activities will be a central and established part of their practice. Through this they will demonstrate and enhance their commitment to a culture of learning:

• Where learning is celebrated, recognised and encouraged
• Where learning is reflected on and shared
• Where challenge is relished and embraced
• Where critical reflection is embedded in practice
• Where individuals can explore learning related to their role throughout their careers

The Standards Council is now developing the CPD Framework which flows from this Strategy statement.
