在1990年至2012年期间，英格兰有一个全国性的制度来规范合格后的社会工作教育。从那时起，社会工作一直被期望采取更灵活的方法来继续专业发展（CPD），承认以工作为基础和自我导向的学习以及高等教育奖项所发挥的贡献。虽然大学可以继续提供取得资格后的课程，但预计它们将与雇主更密切地合作，决定应该教什么和如何教。这篇文章是基于一个范围审查合格后的社会工作教育在英格兰，突出了知识的缺乏有关的主题。虽然获得资格后奖励与提高知识和信心有关，但对个人，组织和服务用户的长期影响知之甚少。似乎完全没有关于成本效益的证据。到目前为止，我们对社会工作者自我导向的持续专业发展的程度知之甚少，目前的资金限制可能会限制组织为其员工投入持续专业发展的资源。在一个快速变化的背景下，文章旨在提供一个基线，从该议程的未来研究到持续专业发展的社会工作者之间可以塑造。
Between 1990 and 2012 there was a national system for regulating post-qualifying social work education in England. Since then social work has been expected to take a more flexible approach to continuing professional development (CPD) which recognises the contribution played by work-based and self-directed learning alongside higher education awards. While universities can continue to offer post-qualifying courses, it is envisaged that they will work more closely with employers in deciding what should be taught and how. This article is based on a scoping review of post-qualifying social work education in England which highlights the paucity of knowledge about the topic. Although achieving a post-qualifying award is associated with improved knowledge and confidence, little is known about the long-term effects on individuals, organisations and service users. There appears to be a complete absence of evidence on cost effectiveness. As yet, we know very little about the extent of self-directed CPD among social workers and current funding constraints are likely to limit the resources that organisations invest in CPD for their workforce. In a rapidly changing context, the article seeks to provide a baseline from which an agenda for future research into CPD among social workers can be shaped.
