Local networks for Registered Managers

The National Skills Academy for Social Care has a new nationwide programme of support for Registered Managers. Registered Managers are commonly the lead professionals in care home and home care services, with wide-ranging and demanding responsibilities. They have a pivotal leadership role and play a central part in ensuring that people who use services experience high quality care and support.

The Skills Academy's programme aims to help and support Registered Managers. It includes a national network, access to information and leadership development programmes, a membership body to which they can belong, and opportunities to connect and network with other Registered Managers.

As part of the programme the NSA have funding available for their members to set up or strengthen local networks, so that people can learn from each other, hear of new developments and share good practice. The funding will cover what you need to get started e.g. venue hire, catering, background materials and speaker expenses. This is the second of four calls for applications: the deadline for applying is 31st August 2013.
