How Does It Work?
SWOTT enables a new structured approach to group CPD and consists of two learning activities: an online module and a group critical reflective supervision. All toolkits are evidence-informed. They offer flexible and accessible CPD requiring short bursts of activity. Completion of a SWOTT toolkit enables transformative learning by:
- increasing critical reflective practice through team discussion between peers
- the application of new reflective tools
- creating the opportunity for peer learning and facilitating the sharing of expertise
- better team communication and team building (“getting to know one another better”)
- enabling new knowledge and insights informed by up-to-date theory and research
Toolkits come in three parts:
- online individual learning
- complex case study for team discussion
- guidance for facilitators
