Essex County Council is working with My Home Life England to support and develop social care leaders.

A Completion Day The introductory workshops focus on you as a leader, leading others and leading change.
Action learning sessions will take place in small groups.

Throughout the programme, tools, resources and exercises are introduced with the opportunity to explore how these might be adopted. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions about using these ideas in their care settings.
