Graham Woodham, Programme Head for the Regulated Professional Workforce at Skills for Care, discusses the benefits of mentoring and how it can help you to develop your staff.

As our campaign around 'Developing managers' draws to a close today, we want to reflect on our two-month campaign and remind you of all the great information, articles and blogs that we shared from around the sector.

Last year, Partners in Care: Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole, used a grant from Skills for Care's Workforce Development Innovation Fund (WDIF) to introduce a peer-led mentoring project. Kate Blake, Team Manager at Partners in Care, tells us more about how it's helped with local peer support and developing managers in their area.

As we continue to focus on developing managers in our sector, our latest blog talks about the power of networks and how they support, not only registered managers, but also assistant and deputy managers. In 2018, we started a pilot testing the impact of establishing a network for assistant and deputy managers in Greater Manchester. Carol Mitchell, Locality Manager for that area leads this pilot and tells us more.
