Social work management is a challenging career and the current context of financial restrictions means that managers may have less time to engage in their development than before. Therefore, in order to support the most effective use of the framework, it needs to be made applicable to local needs and conditions by spending time on understanding of management development needs to ensure relevant and appropriate development programmes are provided.
There are a number of tools/processes which are in place to support organisations to do this and the downloadable document which supports this section explores these further.
