CPD while you're on a career break
Not currently working? CPD requirements may differ depending on your circumstances.
Members on a career break
If you are on a career break, such as maternity leave, you still need to maintain CPD compliance and make a positive declaration. You would not be expected to complete the level of CPD expected of you while in work, but we would expect you to keep aware of changes within the profession or within the business sector that you work. This could be done through reading of Economia or other relevant publications.
