As we bring our June/July campaign around 'Developing managers' to a close this week, we catch up with Sue Ann Balcombe, Registered Manager at the Priscilla Wakefield House Care Home, who firmly believes that recognition for registered managers in our sector is long overdue.

Georgina Turner, our Interim Director for Sector Development – Engagement, reflects on the first meeting of our new Registered Manager Reference Group (RMRG), where a cross-section of our registered manager members joined forces to talk 'all-things managers in social care'.

Julie Lusk is a new registered manager at Solar Care Homes and a registered manager member of Skills for Care. She's worked her way from support worker, senior and deputy manager, to registered manager. Julie talks about how she's embraced her new role through working with peers and engaging with other managers, taking part in pilots, networks, events and forums.

As we continue to focus on 'Developing managers' during July, we take a look at how Future Directions CC is shaping personalised programmes to enable the development of new and aspiring managers and deputies. The case study can be found in our new 'Developing new managers and deputies' online guide.
