This programme aims to better-equip Registered Care Home Managers to meet the challenges they face; to reduce their isolation by networking them at local and national level; and to enable them to recognise their leadership role.

The programme is rooted in the needs identified by Registered Managers, and uses the behaviours identified in the Skills Academy’s Leadership Qualities Framework to put values at the heart of social care practice and strengthen leadership capacity.

The programme is based around four key themes:

• putting values into practice: building practical support and engagement amongst Registered Managers at local and regional level;
• gathering and disseminating information, including around values-based recruitment;
• engaging with employers;
• promoting the idea of registration and/or accreditation.
