Important information

See the below table for some quick reference information on what each requirement entails.

Requirement	Notes
Learning goals	In the first 3 months of the practising year, plan your learning for the year by identifying and recording what your goals are going to be. Update the goals page throughout the year to show how you progressed with the goals you set for yourself. Learning goals should be specific to you and relevant to your practice. It is good to have SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timebound.
Critical reflection	Write a critical reflection on either a competence standard of your choosing OR a significant incident that occurred in your practice.
Peer group meetings	Participate in the required number of peer group meetings and record adequate details of the meetings to show your participation and learnings/reflection from having attended. Note: A routine staff meeting does not constitute a peer group meeting.
Cultural safety	Take an action towards cultural safety.
Keeping up to date	Complete and log learning activities you have undertaken to keep up to date.
Conversations with your verifier	You must have the required number of conversations with your verifier and talk about your professional development – what you did, why you chose these activities, and how they have supported your professional development. Note: You only need to record the dates of the conversations. Uploading notes from the conversations/meetings is optional.
Verifier sign-off	You will need to give your verifier online access to your portfolio. After checking your portfolio, your verifier needs confirm that they have had the required conversation(s) with you, that you have met the MyRecert requirements and that your learning and development is relevant to your role.

Part of CPD includes adequately recording what you have done. Each section of the MyRecert portfolio must be completed with sufficient detail to demonstrate active engagement in learning activities that support your professional development and show how you met each requirement.

Note: It is possible to complete one activity/exercise that covers two requirements. Although, there may be some duplication, it is best to complete each section of the portfolio and record sufficient detail to clearly demonstrate how it relates to and achieves each individual requirement. This option should be used sparingly to ensure you are completing a variety of CPD across the year.

You can also find full guidance on each requirement on the guidance page ‘How to?’. If you have any additional questions, please get in touch.
