Local networks for managers

Confidence, reassurance, knowing you’re in the same boat as others and having someone to share problems with.  

Registered Manager

Thousands of managers attend the 150 local networks that we support across England. At each network, managers share knowledge, hear from guest speakers and access peer support. We surveyed the managers at networks and they told us they:

• had a better understanding of legislation and policy (74%)
• were more confident and prepared for inspection (68%)
• felt more positive about their roles (69%)
• felt less isolated (70%).

Each network is led by a chair who is also a registered manager, and supported by a Skills for Care locality manager. They meet at least three times per year and always ensure that the topics covered are relevant to local managers.

Find your local network

Our networks cover every local authority area in England and always welcome new attendees.

• Find your local network using our registered managers' network directory
• Contact your Skills for Care locality manager to find out what's happening in your area.

At the Hartlepool network our aim is ensure that all organisations are up-to-date with current training needs and that staff come on board with the values and beliefs that we have. We are all aiming for the same outcome and that is to ensure people are safe and supported by promoting independence and having the best quality of life - achieving dreams and aspirations.
