Reflective practice is a simple, time-efficient and evidence-based way to enhance your professional performance and improve your wellbeing. It doesn’t need to take a lot of time, and with this template can be completed in just 5-10 minutes. The more often you go through a structured process of reflection, the easier and more instinctive this process will become

To support lawyers with their reflective practice, we have developed this template, based on Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle.

The template is provided in both Word and PDF format so it can easily be printed or typed into.

If you would like to adjust the Word version to suit your needs (eg add additional notes), open the document in Word and go to Developer > Restrict Editing > Stop Protection to unlock the document for editing.
