The report rightly acknowledges the need for a unified set of values across health and social care and we know that effective working is driven by shared agendas and mutual professional respect to provide integrated services centred around a person’s needs. All leaders and managers should have the opportunity to develop themselves, and it’s what Skills for Care already support through our leadership development programmes including registered managers networks, induction standards, succession planning, leadership qualities framework, compassionate leadership programmes and the Moving Up programme that supports those from diverse backgrounds to fulfil their leadership goals.
