Welcome to PePLE
New site architecture
The site has undergone some major changes behind the scenes. Most of this will initially be transparent to users (which is what we'd like) but over time we hope to introduce some new features to make the site more usable and to encourage users to return to the site more often.
PePLE is a resource for the training and continuing professional development of social workers that can be used with flexibility to fit in with the operational demands of workplaces. The resources can be used to support independent study or existing employer led provision.
On the site you will find:
- Video clips from the acclaimed OU/BBC series ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’
- Video activities which use these clips to stimulate reflection on key issues in social work supervision
- Short guides to finding and using information in the service of practice knowledge and case studies which cover most areas of social work provision to service users
- A community area and forums where you can share your experiences and reflect on practice development with other social workers who use the site
NQSW and CPD frameworks
Users of this website can link these resources to NQSW and CPD frameworks and they will be particularly useful to:
- Social workers in their first three years post-qualification
- Practice educators to provide resources for training
- Social workers at later stages of their career who want to refresh their knowledge and skills in practice education and development
