CPD Requirements: On 21 May 2014, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) agreed to implement a new approach to continuing competence and the CPD scheme.

Under the new approach to continuing competence, solicitors are not required to undertake accredited CPD from 1 November 2014 and the SRA will cease to recognize accredited training from this point. From 1 November 2016, all solicitors must adopt the SRA’s new approach to continuing competence.

All solicitors will need to make an annual declaration to the SRA that they have done this. Visit the SRA website for more details.
