What leaders and managers in social care do — a statement for a leadership & management development strategy for social care A Skills For Care product "This statement underpins the Skills for Care leadership and management training strategy. Skills for Care recognises that there are common behaviours, skills and knowledge required for leaders and managers across all sectors. The statement identifies what is particular about leading and managing in social care. This is important as leaders and managers are working in and across an increasing range of organisations with a remit for funding and providing social care services that are person-centred, seamless and proactive. In addition, they must support people who use services in taking increased responsibility for their own care, for example by managing their own services through direct payments. People who use services have said that leaders and managers should: "Show the way, keep people on board and together, listen to customers, make change happen and get results through the best use of people, money and other resources." Effective leadership and management are essential to manage the complexity of social care arrangements. This can mean managing staff from different professions and disciplines across integrated and multi-agency settings and within a range of partnerships. "
Mapping of leadership and management standards for social care. (Revised 2006)
"This map has been developed to underpin the Skills for Care Leadership and Management strategy and an integrated approach to learning and development. It can be used as the basis for developing person management specifications (see product 2) and to decide which learning opportunities or qualifications are appropriate for leaders and managers (see product 5 Continuing Professional Development). It will also underpin the Skills for Care Signposting System for leadership and management, which is currently being developed.
Organisations and individuals can identify which standards and competences apply to a particular role by selecting from the following range:
Leadership Qualities Framework The NHS Leadership Qualities Framework has been developed specifically for the NHS and sets the standard for outstanding leadership in the service. It describes the qualities expected of existing and aspiring leaders both now and in the future. The framework can be used across the NHS to underpin leadership development, for individuals, teams and organisations. Institute of Leadership and Management " The Institute of Leadership & Management has done much to advance the capability of managers and leaders in the UK. Since its formation four years ago, close to a quarter of a million managers and leaders have benefited from ILM’s qualification programmes, while 12,000 individuals have joined as new ILM members during this time. " Chartered Managers Institute (CMI) "The Chartered Management Institute is the only chartered professional body that is dedicated to management and leadership. We are committed to raising the performance of business by championing management. We do this through supporting and advising individuals and organisations, or through engaging policy makers and key influencers in government and the management profession."
