How
to
use
the
UKPSF
Self-‐Audit
Tool
The
Self-‐Audit
tool
aims
to
help
you
map
your
skills
&
experience
in
rela:on
to
each
of
the
UKPSF
Dimensions
of
Prac:ce.
Steps:
1. Make
sure
you
understand
the
dimensions
–
UKPSF
workshops
help
with
this
2. Start
with
the
Areas
of
Ac:vity
(A1-‐A5)
and
make
notes
of
examples
in
each
area
from
your
own
prac:ce.
Add
an
X
as
appropriate
to
note
other
dimension((s)
which
these
examples
illustrate
(e.g.
A1
-‐
Module
Design
(K1,
V4)
–
again
UKPSF
workshops
help
with
this
3. Go
to
the
Self-‐Audit
wheel
and
for
each
Dimension
on
the
wheel,
use
this
analysis
to
rate
your
prac:ce
by
placing
an
X
in
the
relevant
band
(e.g.
A2
X
in
Third
Ring;
K4
X
in
Inner
Ring).
You
can
use
the
final
sheet
for
notes
of
prac:ce
that
exemplifies
your
judgements.
4. Bring
this
to
your
Guidance
&
Support
Interview
to
inform
your
development
plan.
