3 Guidance Notes for ALL Staff and Managers Personal Preparation Form Staff Work Book (PRD3) A short life working party has completed a review of the Employee Development Programme (EDP), which is being replaced with a Social Policy Edition of the new Clackmannanshire Council Performance Review and Development (PRD) system. As part of the transition from the EDP system to the PRD system, the working party has designed this work book to assist you to identify your learning needs. The baseline for measuring your performance is the Corporate Competency Framework. However, as part of the Social Service Workforce each and everyone of us, also needs to ask: - Do I meet the SSSC s expectation of me as a member of the competent, confident and valued workforce in the Social Service Sector? The Scottish Social Services Council has developed The Framework for Continuous Learning in Social Services, which aims to support you in doing your job well and to enhance local arrangements, in this case the PRD system. For example, some staff will be working towards a qualification and will be developing knowledge, skills, values and understanding of their role and responsibilities. For newly qualified staff and experienced staff, the continuous learning framework is there to assist you with your individual contribution to your continuous improvement journey. The starting point is different for everyone and the purpose of this work book is to provide you with a tool that matches the two systems (PRD and Continuous Learning Framework) and makes it easier for you to use the reflective practice skills that you have gained so far, to begin to evidence your learning and development needs in terms of how you see yourself contributing to making your own practice, that of your team and service better. Staff Work Book The workbook is comprised of 16 worksheets, and Social Services Strategic Management Team (SSSMT) agreed that for this first year (2010/2011), that all staff be asked to concentrate all our efforts on completing Parts 1 and 2. Part 3 will be introduced in 2011/2012, or you can work on this for your own interest. Please note that the Council s nine core behavioural competencies are in black ink and the SSSC Continuous Learning Framework - Thirteen Personal Capabilities are blue in colour. The reason for the colour coding is to assist you in being clear that they are set by two different organisations. The work book is divided into four parts and this is outlined below: - Part 1 Core Competencies (A full copy is available on COIN - HR Policies) Clackmannanshire Council Competency Framework has nine behavioural competencies. Three are included as stand alone competencies in Part 1 Part 2 Core Competencies and SSSC Continuous Learning Framework Personal Capabilities This matrix matches six of the Council s behavioural competencies with six of the SSSC Continuous Learning Framework, Personal Capabilities. By matching these, the aim is to simplify the process of identifying your personal learning and development needs whilst utilising both frameworks. Part 3 SSSC Continuous Learning Framework - Personal Capabilities The remaining seven Personal Capabilities will be introduced in 2011/
