SILP School 2023
You may be involved in reviewing cases or in commissioning, participating in or quality assuring reviews. No matter what role you perform, then you probably already know that constant upgrades to review practice are vital in our changing context. The big question is how to distil implementable learning in an engaging, transparent, resource efficient way EVERY SINGLE TIME.
‘I would fully recommend this course, I’m nearly at the end now & I’ve found it to be informative, challenging & a strengths based model that really resonates with me. ..I hope it has made me a stronger practitioner. More able to think & understand without blame, support & develop learning & improved practice. It’s been great to connect & learn alongside peers from across the disciplines. Thank you... & look forward to working with you in the future’ SILP Trainee, 2021

With a rough expectation of 18 hours spread across the pre-reading, delivered content, Q & A sessions & assignment writing participants will spend 1 to 1.5 hours per week on average on completing the course. However, the assignment writing period [26 February to 17 March 2024] is likely to require an increased time commitment compared to other weeks. Details of what’s on offer in the orientation phase can be found here.
As you will see from the schedule, we have built in 2 implementation weeks. During these weeks no new content is released & there is an opportunity to engage in live online Q & A sessions with course tutors.

SILP is a registered trademark. Use of the SILP methodology is authorised for SILP Accredited Reviewers undertaking commissions arranged or approved by Review Consulting Ltd under suitable mentoring arrangements. SILP reviewers are required to undertake annual refresher training. We see the potential for the following models for reviewing cases : 1. An independent lead reviewer working alone 2. An independent lead reviewer working alongside an in house lead reviewer 3. An in house reviewer reviewing the case of an organisation from which that reviewer is independent 4.Two independent reviewers working together if the circumstances of the case or the commissioning organisation require it
You have the choice whether or not to sign an agreement after graduation. The terms suggest there is no obligation for Review Consulting Ltd to provide work & no obligation on the reviewer to accept work. As a SILP reviewer, we hope you would present as an ambassador of the SILP model, able to discuss its merits & sign post those who wish to know more. However, you are encouraged to accept other independent work. There is no guarantee of independent work for any SILP reviewer. We can only observe the patterns in the market & decide year upon year whether to run a course. Some first time reviewers find it hard to achieve their first commission & have to apply repeatedly until that opportunity arises.
Graduates qualify for 20 Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) credits at Level 7 (Masters) against courses offered by the Institute of Criminal justice Studies, University of Portsmouth if applied for within 5 years. Note: This RPL may also be accepted by other higher education institutions but this would be at their discretion.
