We collaborate and innovate in social care to improve the lives of adults and children, working with a wide range of partners and people with lived experience. We offer expert consultancy, training, resources and insights.
Are you a practice leader working in children’s and adults’ social care?
This CPD accredited Strength Based Leadership programme from the Social Care Institute for Excellence and the University of Birmingham is designed to support the development and demonstration of practice leadership, through engaging with academic insights, critically reflecting on their own leadership, and developing a community of practice with their peers.
CPD Standards Office accredited course ref no : 60036/50.
We do not often get the time and space to specifically work on leadership skills during our day job. The programme was a real opportunity to reflect on and explore in-depth what leadership not only means to you, but also what it looks like for you in practice.
