Complete the 2021 Continuing Competence Program!
As we’re nearing the last few months of the year, the College would like to remind members of their requirement to complete the 2021 Continuing Competence Program (CCP).
Participation in the CCP is a condition of registration and one of the ways that College members demonstrate their commitment to professional and ethical practice. All members (with the exception of those in the retired class of certificate of registration) are required to participate in the CCP, including those who are not currently practising, in the inactive class of certificate of registration, on maternity, parental or sick leave, or who registered late in the year.
As part of the 2021 CCP, College members are required to review (along with the Standards of Practice) the following five resources:
- Ethical and Competent Responses to Anti-Black Racism
- But “They” Told Me To! Owning Your Professional Accountability
- Top 6 Considerations for Virtual Services
- Considerations for Using Communication Technology in Practice
- Communication Technology Practices and Policies for a Digital World
