Description of impact
The development of a national body for CLD was a commitment made in the Scottish Executive’s report, Empowered to Practice (2003). This considered the future of CLD training in Scotland.In June 2004 a Short Life Task Group was convened to advise Ministers about establishing a practitioner-led body with responsibility for endorsement and accreditation of training, consideration of a model for registration for CLD practitioners and development of a model of supported induction and continuing professional development (CPD). Its recommendations can be found in this report.
Following on from the report recommendations, Ministers agreed that the CLD Standards Council should be put in place, building on the work of CeVe Scotland and with the additional remit of exploring registration for practitioners and putting in place a supported induction and CPD structure for the field.
Jayne Stuart served as a member of the Ministerial Short Life Task Group.
