Continuing Professional Development

It has been an ambition of Police Chaplaincy UK to be able to offer Continuing Professional Development [CPD] to Police Chaplains. Having worked for the past 12 months with the University of Wales, St David’s we are now in a position to do so. The course is offered using the latest developments in distance learning and is supported by an experienced team of tutors, guest speakers and mentors as well as drawing on the shared experience of students through smaller study groups.

The initial module [worth 40 learning points] will take the themes of current Induction Course and develop these in greater depth and understanding. Successful completion of this module will lead to the award of a University Certificate; Completion of one of two further modules, [each worth 20 learning points] will result in the award of a Post Graduate Certificate. The choice of these two modules will be either The Impact of Trauma or Multi-faith engagement. Those who wish can then progress through three further modules [each worth 20 learning points] completion of which will give the award of a Post Graduate Diploma. For those wishing to continue the final stage would be a supported and supervised thesis module [worth 60 learning points] and the award of an MA in Police Chaplaincy. The modules at the diploma stage will be designed to be of relevance to various contexts and include modules such as ‘managing volunteers’ etc so it has attraction to volunteer Police  Chaplains who may not wish to be solely Police focused.
