Reach UK SRA Continuing Competence readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
The SRA Continuing Competence regime (since 2016) replaced prescriptive CPD hours with an outcomes-based requirement on individuals to reflect on their practice, identify learning + development needs, take appropriate action + record this annually. Firms must support staff competence. Compliance is verified at practising-certificate renewal. Quick Policy maps UK SRA Continuing Competence into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
Standards assurance
How Quick Policy verifies against UK_SRA_CONTINUING_COMPETENCE
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against UK_SRA_CONTINUING_COMPETENCE's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

Standard facts

- • Directly shapes policy families including Legal Practice, Training — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
