What is Professional Development Planning?(PDP)
- It's about someone working with you so you can make well informed and realistic decisions for yourself about your development needs
- It's not about telling you what to do
- It's an opportunity to discuss your development needs in depth, and it can help provide you with options for moving forward
- All discussions remain confidential to the PDP team
- For more information on NCSP's Professional Development Planning service, please download our Statement of Service
