8. The earliest critique of the invention of writing... Socrates warns his companion Phaedrus that writing will only make memory weaker "This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them.... writings are silent; they cannot speak, answer questions, or come to their own defence." Socrates Plato (370BC), 274e-275a

AUA, in partnership with HEFCE, HEA and LFHE has developed a continuing professional development (CPD) framework. Set of resources have been created to support HEIs, managers and staff to put the CPD framework into practiceThe tools can be adapted and they can be used flexibly to: clarify what CPD is support individuals to take control of their own development support individuals to assess their CPD needs support individuals to plan, review and record their personal and career development help to build on CPD processes and expertise that are already in place in HEIs Benefits of the CPD Framework? a shared understanding of CPD for professional services staff within the HE context a model for developing a consistent and coherent approach to CPD fosters consistency in the quality of support of the student experience enhanced recruitment and transferability within the sector through a common understanding of professional behaviours a means of demonstrating the professionalism that staff bring to the support of the student experience
