There are some interesting articles in the new issue of Impact, including
one by Susan Kay, professional adviser to CILIP. She mentions the new
chartership formats that are replacing the PDR. Submissions are now in 2
parts, a written evaluation of professional development and a portfolio of
supporting and related material. I hope this doesn't leave current
candidates thinking that they'll have an even tougher mountain to climb,
but I think it will be a good thing. Hopefully it will prevent some of the
agonies of word count and deciding what material to include.
I can't find much info on the new process on CILIP's website, just a
brief mention of the 2 parts of the process. All candidates should be
receiving a new handbook with details of the new process. Has anyone got
theirs yet?
She also mentions the revalidation process, which will be voluntary at
first, although I don't know what the format is going to be.
So does this act as a spur for those working towards the October deadline
or not?
