Well-Led

Programme Overview

This course is delivered over 4 weekly morning sessions delivered by our Instructor via a Zoom webinar.

Well-Led is a development programme, created by Skills for Care, for both new and experienced managers of adult social care services. It was developed in partnership with managers who are familiar with the day-to-day challenges of leading a care team and will help individuals to develop their leadership and management potential, gain knowledge and be supported and challenged to put this into practice.

This practical leadership development programme was designed to enable leaders to deliver care in line with the expectations of a well-led service, providing an opportunity to share and learn together with other service managers.

Cost: £437.50 + VAT

Funding: Adult social care employers in England can claim funding through the Department of
Health and Social Care (DHSC) Learning and Development support scheme.
