Well Led - Flourish

Well Led

Well led is an adult social care leadership programme aimed at new and existing care leaders who are wanting to deliver care in line with the expectations of a CQC well led service. 

Well led leadership training for adult social care leaders

Well led is an adult social care leadership development programme, created by Skills for Care, for both new and experienced managers of adult social care services. It was developed in partnership with managers who are familiar with the day-to-day challenges of leading a care team and will help individuals to develop their leadership and management potential, gain knowledge and be supported and challenged to put this into practice.

This practical leadership development programme was designed to enable leaders to deliver care in line with the expectations of a well led service, providing an opportunity to share and learn together with other service managers.

Well Led programmes are fully fundable using the Adult Social Care Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS)
