  15. What is already being said: “The Career Framework makes you look at your own practice. It makes me feel in control of my career.” “As an independent practitioner, it is sometimes tricky to consider where I am in my career. I don’t have the structures of an established institution and a hierarchy to map myself against. I see the Career Framework helping me with this. It can also identify where I might need to access further support.” For review 2019

  16. Main uses? “The Career Framework has many possible uses which will only become apparent as we engage with the resource. The key is to use it flexibly….It has the potential to demonstrate what we have achieved and what we hope to do for a wide range of employers and service users.” For review 2019

Using the Career Framework at a strategic level is going to be transformational.” “The Career Framework has made me think a lot about how to go forward. It is inspiring to see what I would need to do to get up to the next Level” “This is the Career Framework for occupational therapy….
