Developing leadership at all levels is important because everyone in the workforce, regardless of role or position, contributes to the delivery of quality care for the people of Scotland.
Our Enabling Leadership research identifies what good leadership looks like in Scotland’s social services. This research informs our leadership development activity and includes our leadership logic model which illustrates what good leadership looks like in Scotland's social services.
Our work aims to support frontline workers, managers and strategic leaders to recognise and use their leadership capability to contribute to the design and delivery of services that meet the personal outcomes of the people using them.
You can find our leadership development resources, assess your own leadership capability and plan how to develop it on our Step into Leadership website. It hosts several resources designed specifically to support leadership development in social care, social work or children and young people services. These include 23 Things Leadership, 23 Things Early Learning and Childcare Leadership, and the Frontline Worker Leadership Capability Feedback Tool.
We work with partners across social services to identify leadership learning needs, and support the development, delivery and evaluation of different leadership learning activities.
This national programme of leadership development, initiated by Scottish Government and delivered in collaboration with NHS Education for Scotland (NES), offers a range of leadership development activities for people working in social care, social work, and health. Leading to Change aims to support leadership learning across the wider system, improving collaboration and creating more opportunities for colleagues delivering integrated services to learn together.
Leading for the Future is an innovative package of leadership and management development. It has been designed specifically for those in senior leadership positions in social work, social care, health and related organisations. The programme is run in partnership across several Health Boards and Health and Social Care Partnerships in Scotland and welcomes colleagues from partner organisations across public services.
