Hello I'm new here, I've just started as a student member and have just started to study for the CIPD Level 5 and am about to start my first assignment.  However, I am really struggling to get started with it it's all around developing professional practice.

I work in a large state academy as an HR advisor but my role is stand alone.

I would really appreciate it if anyone already working in a school could please give me any pointers to help me get started please.

There are various strands to this including doing a SWOT analysis regarding my current capabilities against the CIPD profession map.

However, it is the first part I am stuck on.  The assignment brief is on how to be an effective and efficient HR professional.  It says "Illustrate the nature of the work you are involved in as an HR Professional. You should explain the role and contribution of an HR Professional within your organisation and with reference to the CIPD's 2018 Profession Map, provide at least one example of each of the following:  an area of specialist knowledge, an area of core knowledge, and a core behaviour required for the role.  Evaluate why you consider these examples to be important.

I would really appreciate any one who could offer any insights or tips to get me started.

Thank you!
